RE: [RC] Diesel/BioDiesel - Karen Standefer

Sorry, guys………..I meant fuel filter, not oil filter.

How does changing the oil filter have anything to do with the gas carburation? The oil and gas system do not intermingle. This just doesn't make sence to me. Please help me understand this.

 

Thanks,

Susan

Subject: [RC] Diesel/BioDiesel

I’ve been using biodiesel for over a year in my truck and my car.  I get the same gas mileage and performance. I’m using 100% not a blend (although I do have to fill up with diesel when I go on trips).  There is no trouble switching back and forth.  The only issue I’ve had is that when you first switch your vehicle over, if you’re using 100% BD, you’ll want to change the oil filter after the first tank of BD.  It really cleans out the tank and can clog things up.  You can avoid this by using a blend for a while and then switching gradually (just like changing feed for your horse!!)
