problems on the homefront

[TomThomas]

Hey everybody, just checking in. For those that don't know, I'm running the traditional DSE blend with Craig's formula in a PRISTENE, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS '93 CTD, my Lil' BlackBeauty. Always started on 1/2 crank, ran quiter, all the bennies. Anyways, I was up to about 5 tankfuls when tragedy struck! No you sillies, nothing wrong with the blend or my baby, except that I traded her off. Yes, I betrayed you all and am now driving a '99 f350 P-joke 4x4 crewcab. It wasn't the fact that my CTD had 380k miles and the ford has 220K, or that the ford is in better shape (hell, its an old crummy from a logging outfit, there's enough dirt in the cab to grow 6 redwoods). No, I just wanted a change, or maybe "challenge" is a better way to put it.

Is this alt fuel related? You bet. I put 10gal blend in the truck and so far so good I'll continue to post here and lurk, but I did find some good info here:

Bio-Diesel/Alternative Fuels and Supplements - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

There was an especially good thread on filters and micron ratings, but sorry, I couldn't find it this morning. Thanks for listening, Tom.

you did what

Hello Tom



Thats the way the ball bounces right. I know you will have good luck running the fuel in a ford got a friend thats doing it and he loves it.

Don't worry most of the people know that the truck and engine have no clue what they are. its just the people that own them are the ones that have the problems.



Keep in touch and good luck.
