A Few Questions

Ok Guys and Gals,

Think of going to Bio and have a few questions about it an I hope you can help.

1. My 7.3 has 114k on it. What problem may I run in to trying to do a switch?

2. The only place that I found Bio at sells 99 and 100. Would I need to cut this with reg diesel?

3. Now how do proformance upgrades work with bio? Is it a big no no to run a hotter program on the engine while running bio?

Sorry about all the questions but I am new to diesels and looking at bio and just want to get more info before I made up my mind on what I am going to do. Thanks to all that help or reply to this.

Brent

Re: A Few Questions

1. My 97 7.3 had over 180,000 miles when I started brewing and using my own bio. No negative changes. Except fuel filters, a couple changes before the dino gunk deposits were elininated.

2. I run B100 when weather permits. Several others on here do also. That is the idea behind homebrewing.

3. Mine is still stock as far as power. Others report no problems.

Your assigned homework is to search this forum for related topics and read, read, read. There is a wealth of posts on every of the above topics.
