Can anyone tell me anything about this Bio-Diesel I have been hearing about? I have a 7.3 psd and was wondering if this can be good on this motor? I know it is new but is it possible to run a diesel on this type of fuel? I would appreciate any info.
Thanks in advance!

Don't know squat about diesels. That said i do listen to a little Willie Nelson.Right now I'd be wondering if this guy is a nut job too.

Bear with me a minute tho. A while back old Willie bought into the bio-fuel thing big time. Read the article with several links. “On the Road Again” (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6826994/)

The gist of it is that you can run this in any diesel. It is a completely renewable energy source. The only hold upto widespread distribution is the fact that it tends to gell at a higher temp than conventional dino diesel. It would reguire heated holding tanks at the filling station.

You can use Bio-Diesel w/o modifications in your truck.

Is it hte "best thing", I do not know, but it will work ok, and should cause absolutely no troubles for you.
