B20 issues?

Anything I should worry about with running B20? The local truck stop now offers it so I filled up w\ it... other than potential clogging of the fuel filter, what should I watch out for? any problems w\ this?

Re: B20 issues?

With a truck as new as yours, your fuel hoses are not a worry like the older trucks.

Keep an extra fuel filter on hand. Even with a truck as old as mine, I still haven't changed my fuel filter after running B-100 and B-50 for the past two months.

Enjoy,

Hugh

Re: B20 issues?

How about the 97 F-350? Is that year too old? I just switched to B20 due it being sold locally now at Southern States, cheaper than the regular diesel... $2.66.

Makes the exhaust more pleasent... at least on the drive home. Have yet to start it up on a 40 degree morning.

Re: B20 issues?

I run B100 in my 97. Still lots of 40 degree mornings here.
