I have heard of many people getting away with 100% bio. The only problem wash poorly made bio and filter cloging. Otherwise you should be safe and remember the cheap stuff is just that Cheap.

P.S. if the factory finds out you will void all warranties. Mileage should be about the same as well.

Ford recommends B5 only for the 6.0L.

You are absolutly right. But they only say that to protect them from batches of bad bio. And yes if you get caught with 100% bio in the tank say good bye to the warranty. Otherwise a 6.0 will run just fine on 100% bio as long as it is high quality.

if i had a 6.0 i wouldn't use bio, the problem is that there is to many unregulated people selling bio-diesel, and the 6.0 being so sensitive to fuel mass and quality, i don't know if i would risk it per say, for the money savings on fuel
