Re: A good reason to run B100 over SVO
The IDI 6.9 is very tolerant of fuel quality. I joke with people saying that my truck could run on boiled horse pee and not know the difference.
The kicker with WVO is dewatering, near fanatical filtration and lots of heat before it even enters the fuel injection system.
WVO doesn't address the free fatty acids issue that is eliminated by turning WVO into biodiesel. Washed biodiesel not only removes all these free fatty acids, but also water, alcohol and any other particulates and is much less viscous than WVO further removing undue stress on the injection pump.
WVO can kill the IP on the 6.9 IDI engine if it's run too cold, I have heard of instances of poorly warmed WVO causing the input shaft on the IP to snap due to excessive shaft stress.
