Re: Quick question yes/no?

just dump it in and go. You may have to change a fuel filter after a short time of running on Bio it will clean you system very well.

You didn't mention what year the vehicle was you were plannning on doing this with. You may if it's very old have to replace a few rubber parts in the fuel system.

Yep BUT, if you are still under warranty, Ford only covers 5% biodiesel.
Where are you getting the fuel from? A commercial place thats making it ,a station selling it, or a friend. I ask becuase of concern for fuel quality.
I would NEVER run unwashed Biodiesel of any % in anything I own.
