I would put some VERY small micron filters on your system/truck, I have seen the inside of CP3s and injectors that had run biodiesel, and it wasnt pretty

I have heard bad things about using bio diesel on the cp3... I think I will only run it in my 12 valve... Extra filters will definately be necessary... Thanks. .

Anyone who wants to make/convert cooking oil to fuel should do a search on 'girl mark.

She knows how it's done and puts on seminars to teach it.

It is a better fuel than pump diesel, when done right.

I have a biodiesel processor in my garage that some friends and I made using a hot water heater and 2 55 gallon drums. You can see how to do this on the appleseed web site. They also have computer formulas to figure out dosing after titration. I have ran B100 alot in my 99 where I added a second filter before the stock filter. The first filter was 10 microns and the second was 7 microns. No problems. I have also run B100 in my 04 with only the stock filter. The trick is making sure the biodiesel is processed properly. You have to water wash and also have a drying tank. We also found that by increasing the mix time on the processor to one hour and using 22% methanol instead of 20% we got a much better reaction. A lot of problems with the filters went away after that.

I'm looking into this right now too, since my supply of free fuel dried up so to speak, and my 550 runnith dry.

I have 2 hot water heaters waiting for me to pick them up as we speak.

I also have one of the harbor freight pumps & just about all the valving needed. I was looking at the appleseed system too.

I dont have a source of oil, but there are a LOT of restaurants within a few miles from me, I dont forsee having a problem getting some.

Check out the BioPro line of products. I use a BioPro 380 to make 100-200 gallons a week. Never so much as a clogged filter in 2 years. These machines are a little expensive, but every bit worth it. They are industrial quality, super compact, and do everything in the same vessel. I purchased mine from Fusion Biodiesel He offers a TDR discount too.

Sites for "biodiesel"

You can also look at biofuelbasics.com or dieselsecret.com. Both companies offer a vegetable oil additive (catalyst) as well as either instructions for or the purchase of a "fueling station". I am seriously considering going with biofuelbasic as diesel around here is about $4. 30/gallon (California - go figure). I'm self-employed and need to be sure my '06 2500 RAM can handle it first.

My CP3's been running it exclusively for about a year now. NO problems!
