Is anyone running B100 in their 6.7?
If so is anyone having problems?
Thanks

You have to be real careful who you buy it form. A lot of places don't know how to filter the alky out of it well, so a 5% mix is suppose to be safe.

B20 has been approved by Chrysler, I have the email from them as below:

Thank you for contacting the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center regarding your 2007 Dodge Ram.
We appreciate the time and effort you took to write to us.

In response to your email regarding Chrysler
s stance in the biodiesel usage in your 2007 Dodge Ram, we would like to inform you that Chrysler has expanded the use of clean renewable biodiesel fuel by approving the
use of B20 (20 percent biodiesel) in Dodge Ram pickup trucks.

Use of B20 is approved effective with the 2007 Model Year and will require use of biodiesel fuel that meets the fuel specifications established by the U.S. military.
Initially, Chrysler approved the use of B20 in Dodge Ram pickups equipped with Cummins diesel engines for its military government and commercial fleet customers only.

The company is now working with the government automotive suppliers, energy providers, universities, and
independent agencies on a national fuel standard that would make B20 an option for all owners of Dodge Ram diesels.

Thank you for allowing us to explain this update to you.
If we can be of any assistance to you in the future, please call our Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-992-1997 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

I was using this for awile when diesel here in area was $4.79 to 4.99/gal last year... but now B100 from AZBiodiesel is about 10 cents higher than dinosaur diesel.

Thanks guys I have heard this also about the B20. I proccess my own filter it and refine it to make it the best quality that I can. I have been running B100 for about 2000 miles and havent had any problems. Just want to make sure Im not damaging anything. Any opinions?

here is a link to a thread that has some good information. I am currently runn B100 again, but only have put 2 tanks threw it so far. I deleted the DPF just in case Bio-diesel causes problems with it.

Good luck

I occasionally run a tank of B-100 but my mileage drops by 1-2 mpg on B-100. Since the cost of B-100 is about the same as diesel, I generally run something around B-20 or 30 and this doesn't seem to impact my mileage.

If you're making your own and check the ph when you're done you'll be fine. The reason Chrysler doesn't stand behind B100 is that the injection manaufacturer's association doesn't. They don't because even though there is a standard for the production of bio, there is no standard for the stability over time. Since you're making your own, I assume you use is as you make it pretty much so stability isn't a concern.

As far as the DPF is concerned, it prefers bio because bio burns with far less diesel particulate i.e hydrocarbon emissions, one of the key drivers for bio popularity, the other being that its renewable.
