Question biodiesel at 100% - F-Series & SuperDuty Diesel Forums

commtrd · 08-09-2010, 05:11 PM

Why is it that Ford specifies only 20% biodiesel in the new 6.7 litre engine? Is it due to the emissions equipment or something else? I thought biodiesel was supposed to burn cleaner than petroleum diesel.

Double posting gets you nothing. I answered your question in the other post.

I saw that there were no threads in the other place so thought maybe I better post on here and forgot to delete that other posting. Sorry 'bout that.

No harm. This forum is small enough that double posting just wastes server space. I read everything each time I visit.
