Biodiesel WILL clean out your fuel system from stem to stern, so have plenty of spare fuel filters on hand and the tools to change them anywhere (wouldn't be a bad idea to have some #2 diesel in a small container to fill the big filter when you change that).

Biodiesel will also provide lubricity, if that is your concern. Not my concern, I use pump #2 ULSD exclusively, have for years, no issues that I can detect...

thats why I love older benz diesel and their motor oil lubricated in line injection pumps. Indestructible.

Buddy of mine is coming up on needing his 4th injection pump on his 94 7.3. hes getting more mileage putting in fuel additive, but every couple of years it seems hes got the same wear problems in his injection pumps.

Fortunately on that year they are both cheap and easy to install
