I have a diesel truck and use bio, I can notice a big difference in power when I put dino diesel into it, there is more power and like I said a noticable...
Bio diesel does have about 3% lower heat content (IIRC). There has been some mention on one of the forums that to get best performance your injection needs to...

Hi Maurice. I want to make the distinction between the regular loss of power (I have over 45,000 miles on B100) and what I am experiencing now. This is like...

The lower heat content of BD would not require a change in injection pump timing. Differences in combustion characteristics might, but I suspect whoever is...
My thinking was that would be a simple and safe way to do the test. Maybe 5 minutes to swap plugs? Polarity shouldn't be an issue with no switch in the cord. ...
