Sure as hell wouldnt make a habit of it, but I have to admit that I accidently put about 2.5 gallons of 100 octane racing fuel in my truck one day :eek: . THat was before I filled the rest of the tank with #2. I panicked, but it ran ok. Actually, it seemed to run pretty good. ONce again, not something I would do again ever. Lucas DIesel Additive for me. WOuld like to run a tank or two of bio through it just to really clean things up.

Many additives such as LDL,Power Service,Stanadyne,Lucas,etc are all okay to run in the Powerstrokes regardless of intake system make:sweet

Bill what if you can't run biodiesel all the time? Does it hurt the engine to switch back and forth between biodiesel and "regular" diesel? I see on this website: http://www.wnbiodiesel.com/ that biodiesel will be sold at the Love's Truck Stop in Anna later this month. I'm up that way a good bit visiting my son and daughter-in-law and the granddaughter and pass right by there. I'd be tempted to try a tank now and then to see how it compares to diesel.

You can go between all Biodiesel,blend or straight up pump whenever you like,the only downside I've found is that when I don't run Biodiesel the engine is louder somewhat.

Would be nice if more of the truckstops carried at least B20.:sweet

- 2.5 gallons / 5% unleaded gasoline

I've been told by several diesel mechanics to never go over 1%.
