  1. Alternative Fuels Diesel Additives Lubricants
    Hello All, I’m new to the forum and diesel vehicles in general. I’ve done some research, and haven’t seen a consistent consensus on whether people use B20 with the 3.0 Duramax. In my area, I’ve seen 3 different diesels being sold: #2 Diesel, High Performance Renewable Diesel...

    So I needed a truck to haul heavy logs and have been looking for an LBZ for the past two years. I finally found my 3500 four door 8' box SRW LBZ, I had to have it inspected as I had purchased it from a different province. I changed 4 balljoints (mevotech), three rear Ujoints and center...

    I was thinking about switching to B100 in my lb7. I was wondering if anyone that runs b100 in an lb7 has had any problems after switching to B100. I know i will plug up my fuel filter on the first few tanks but was wondering if anyone had other problems with B100. The truck has 219,000 miles...
  6. Alternative Fuels Diesel Additives Lubricants
    I was gonna start running one gallon of B100 in my tank to get a 2% fuel to solve the lubriocity problems, and then run a good cetane booster. Now will the Bio act as a cleaner too or should I run a cetane booster with detergents too? And will the 2% make my fuel filter clog up like some guys...

    If I can find some biod in San Antonio, what % can I run in my LBZ? Will the 5% be ok? Can I go higher or lower? If I can find it and if I can run it in my LBZ, will it be ok to stop running my RBP additive?:help

  9. Alternative Fuels Diesel Additives Lubricants
    So I made my first batch of biodiesel and that turned out good, but my second and larger batch I can't say the same for. Im having trouble getting the pic on here but it looks like it has fatty substances in the bio that won't settle out, yet I'm sure I did my titration right. The only thing I...

    Im kinda nervous about putting my first batch of biodiesel in my truck. Ive done a 3/27 test and that turned out ok. I've also filled a test tube with half water and half biodiesel, shaking it to see if my water was cloudy from any leftover Lye, and the water was clear. Does anyone know any...

    What water do you guys use when you wash your biodiesel? I have been using reverse osmosis water but I've considered using tapwater (city water not well water). Is that a bad idea or does it not matter what kind of water I use as long as I check the ph level? Any input would be helpful.
