As far as "screwing around with a Duramax", first of all, I don't see any reason why red-untaxed fuel would make a difference in runability. Unless it was in a poorly maintained farm tank that probably has water, rust, dirt, algae, etc. GM does not have the carboned up EGR valve problem that the 6.0 liter powerstrokes have. There is not a fuel color, or sulfur sensor. Hell, who knows. Maybe it was the flux capacititor or the muffler bearings.LOL
So, far the fuel my neighbor and I have been using is B20 from the local gas station.
From everything I have heard and read, I personally wouldn't run grease until it has been processed into a fuel grade oil. A good source of info is ebay, key word in BIO DIESEL and hit search. That is something I would like to try it though. I was reading about a guy who has a couple of International 4700's with the Navistar T444E engine. And he runs 50/50 blend of fuel grade grease and petroleum diesel. This is the same engine that Ford used and called the powerstroke until the 6.0 came out. Which is a Navistar VT365. Anyway, the Navistars have a heui fuel system. Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injector. There is not an injector pump or injector lines. According to the International Engine Maintenance manual, for the 6.0, it says, International corporation allows the the use of bio diesel blends at the maximum concentration of B5. (5 percent bio blended with 95 percent petrolem based fuel) The bio diesel must meet either the ASTM D6751 or the European EN14214. Which would have to do with carboning of the EGR valves and the vanes in the variable pitch turbo charger. I wish I knew more about the Cummins, I work on the Internationals for UPS. The mecedes has an inline pump. Sorry for being so long winded.
