From the Ford Report:
That should be a red flag in front of a bull to never let biodiesel near your 6.7 if at all possible.
The diesel fuel properties that Ford considers regarding HPFP performance and durability are lubricity, viscosity, water content, total acid number, and oxidation stability.....
Additionally... biodiesel content is another property that Ford considers with regard to HPFP performance and durability. Biodiesel typically provides favorable lubricity properties; however, the fatty-acid methyl esters (FAME) of biodiesel can reduce the stability of the finished blend and oxidize easily, compared with petroleum diesel fuel. If biodiesel is permitted to oxidize, it produces reaction products (acids and peroxides) that can damage or degrade components.
That should be a red flag in front of a bull to never let biodiesel near your 6.7 if at all possible.
