The problem with BioDiesel is that to make tunes specifically for it, we need to know what the base oil is. Vegetable oils (peanut, corn, sunflower, etc.) and other plant oils (palm, linseed, etc.) all have specific densities and clouding points which could ideally make tuning a bit tricky. Also, the percentage of BioDiesel can make a will difference as well.There isn't enough of a difference to cause a truck not to run, but some tuning characteristics might work better for some fuels than others.

We have done tuning for different oil types (trans fluid, waste oil, veggie oil) and each have their own specific tuning needs. I'm sure if you're running BioDiesel it probably is KFC quality stuff and we shouldn't have any problem tuning it.

Take care.

Windows™ Vista and Windows™ 8 is a pain in my a$$!
Windows™ 10 is only slightly less annoying!
Windows™ 11 is garbage!
