No modifications are needed. Keep an extra filter with you tho just in case there is anything in the tank that the biodiesel will loosen

You can run any ratio you want, but not more than 100%:D

Ford only supports B5 tho, so if you're still under warranty that may concern you.

Biodiesel clouds and gels at fairly high temps. If you run B100 it may gel around 32*F or higher depending on feedstock. The more diesel you add the colder it can go.

Biodiesel mixes very well with #2 in any proportions. Ford officially recommends a maximum of %5 biodiesel but many run B-2 up to B-100 without a problem. B-20 is the most common blend. The red dye will stain your fuel system for some time. They purposely over dye the red for this reason.

I have been carrying a socket wrench and bucket to change out my filter is needed. I started to use bio this week and I am running B99. I have had no problems yet with it. One happy camper. :)
