Fass And Bio Diesel

[Artman1]

About 90% of the station around here are going to bio-diesel. Is there any problems running bio thru the Fass.

I have ran the bio mix before I installed the Fass and liked it. Seemed to make the truck run quieter and had about the same milage.

The different blends are 2% 5% and 10% . As it gets warmer the blend goes up.

You're lucky. I know of only one station here that has bio, and it is B100, and that's maybe 60 mile radius. I would like to find 2, 5 or 10%.

Buy the B100 and splash blend it in your tank.

The FASS will have not problem with the bio, just make sure to add anti-gel when it get down in to the 30's and below. Keep an eye on the rubber hoses if you used the ones that came with the FASS. I've been running bio for about two years and I just replaced the hoses because they became soft and starting to deteriorate. You want rubber hoses with an SAE number of J30R9. Of what I found Goodyear is one of about two or three manufactures that product a bio compatible hose. I got the J30R9 hose off of eBay.

One can also get Parkers Super-Flex FL Hose. 3/8" Part number 39706. I think Vulcan is carring conversion kits for our units IIRC... ...
