Greetings everyone. I live in Chicago area. I went in for a routine oil change today on my 05 Excursion at Packey Webb Ford. While there I overheard the service manager discussing a bulletin that the regional service manager had sent regarding the use of biodiesel in the 6.0 motor.
With the cold weather thats hit the Midwest some people are experiencing vehicles gelling up and stalling. I personally haven't had a problem, but they described a man who came in Monday under tow. His F350 had lost power and died on the interstate.
B5. The 11 represents a higher blend of bio and as such will gel much easier than B5. 11% vs. 5%. Unless you can substantiate from your local fuel station that they are using B5, (I recommend we all start asking and potentially documenting) Ford is taking the easy way out and categorically denying injector warranty issues. I have a copy of the correspondence.
They also had a picture of a fuel filter gelled up due to B11 and it was a :badidea: frozen mess. [/COLOR][/B]
