Used Ford purchase

[Patrickf]

Hello all:

Looking to purchase a used Ford pick-up truck for my son (first time driver) that I can run on Biodiesel.

Currently making my own fuel and running it in my 04' 6.0L powerstroke.

My concerns are:

Viton versus natural rubber seals- Biodiesel will eventually eat away the rubber.
Computerized versus non-computerized engines.

The simpler the engine, the better. (lower injector pressures than the current powerstrokes)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard Patrick! Great to have ya'll with us here

I honestly cannot recall what year the Viton O-rings was introduced,I'm sure a few will chime in with the answers we're seeking

TO be honest I cannot remember for sure either but I seem to recall think thinking when I last heard what year it was that all powerstrokes are fine to run BIO because they were OUT of that range...wish I could remember for ya...

Good Luck,
Casey

the rubber to viton switch was in the 80's, bio diesel runs fine in the PSD, Mine is a very early '95 10/94 production date and I've had no problems running the bio diesel.

I have always read that as long as you are after 92 your alright.

That sounds about right to me too...
