2010 Chevy 2500 DURAMAX and B100??

Hello All,

I'm looking into purchasing a 2010 Chevy HD2500 pickup with a Duramax 6.6L TD V8 engine in it. Does anybody know how this engine would fare with 100% bio??

Thanks, Thomas

Anybodyyyyyyyyy??????

Merry Christmas to All

100% Biodiesel is certainly untested.

Your Duramax engine is quoted as B5 compatible on the GMC specification. I read that folks are using up to 20% Bio on a standard tank of diesel. Lots of other places asking the same question. I would try starting at 20% for two successive tanks, and then ramp up in 5% increments every two or three tanks. There have to be other people trying this out.

Anyone here tried Biodiesel in the Duramax?

Nick

Thank you. I also hope there will be more replies to this engine.

Hello All,

Well, ity's threee months later and I finally bought a 2010 Silverado 2500HD Duramax and was wondering if anybody else out there would put B99 in the tank without any reservation.

Yes you can use B100 but you will void your waranty .

All diesels will run on B100 and a new engin better then an old one with diesel sludge everywere .

All diesels will run on B100

Careful issuing blanket statements like this one.  There are engines with post-injection (something GM/Chev has implemented) that should not be fueled with biodiesel (or done so under a monitoring regime).  There are other few other engines with known problems as well, though they are more the exception.  It's always wise to research before your engine becomes an experiment.

I have a 2004 duramax. Started making and using Biodiesel around 75,000 miles. I now have 162,000 miles.I usually run B 50 during the summer and B 20 in the winter. When I kicked it up to B 100, I popped a high rail pressure code and backed off to B 50. I have changed 2 glow plugs but nothing else. Filter change every 10,000 miles.                       Skip

Hello All,

Sorry, haven't been on it for a while either :-{

I came across the idea of using a "DPF delete kit" to eliminate the 2010 Duramax/B100 incompatibility.

Is it true?
