bio-fuel in a mitsubishi fuso

Hi everyone,
I am a bit new to this forum, so bear with me. I have recently taken an interest in these bio-fuels. I have done enough research to understand the basics. I was wondering if anybody has any experiance with foriegn trucks and bio-fuels. My mitsu has a 4 cyl. diesle, its old, 1992 with 250,000 miles on it. It runs like a champ. I use it for a small construction business. I was also thinking about running some waste vege-oil through my oil burner in the shop. For years i have run fords for my bussiness, the last one caught fire from a busted tranny line, then i stumbled onto this truck, cheap about 5 years ago, and i am pretty happy with it,although i wish i had my old ford back.
Mike

Welcome to the Dieselstop I doubt you will get to much support for the Mitsu, but there is a wealth of info on the Fords here [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

Re: bio-fuel in a mitsubishi fuso

If you can get bio-diesel somewhere just try a load - maybe 50/50 with regular diesel or run the pure stuff. Watch your rubber fuel lines for softness and be prepared to go thru a couple of fuel filters at first. The motor will do fine and you'll feel good about helping some Nebraska farmer's kid pay his college dorm fee instead of bankrolling some camel jockey's harem.

Re: bio-fuel in a mitsubishi fuso

Welcome to the forum. You might try asking your question here

http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/eve/ubb.x

You might have more luck finding someone there who has experience with your type of truck since it is more generic in nature.
