Almost every diesel vehicle on the road came from the factory biodiesel compatible. So all you really need to do is put the fuel in the tank. There are some really old diesels that were produced before low sulfur diesel was introduced that have fuel lines that are not compatible with biodiesel. They will be easy to spot. The fuel lines will be leaking and wet and greasy from fuel on the outside of the fuel line. Since 99.9% of all diesels are biodiesel compatible, the best course of action is to just keep an eye on things and watch for leaks then fix leaks in a timely manner.
There are some issues specific ways that biodiesel is different from diesel. Those differences can cause problems, if we don’t pay attention to the differences.
- Biodiesel has a higher gel point
- Biodiesel can plug filters
- Diesel Particulate Filters
