Here is my question: Do I proceed w/biodiesel that I purchase at local gas stations or start buying bulk petro based diesel. I ask this after having a Ford CAV injection rebuilt to the tune of $500 and another Ford CAV cleaned to the tune $300.
I have a ford 4610 (mid 80's w/2000 hrs- 3 cyl diesel) and a 2910 ford (late 80's w/750 hrs- 3 cyl diesel ). A Case 580 E backhoe (Cummins diesel) and a Case 450 dozer (Case motor- diesel). I only run about 100-150 gals of diesel fuel a year through everything combined.
After paying to have both Ford CAV pumps worked on (both were gunked up w/brown sludge), my diesel injection shop said to stay clear of the biodiesel. They said that if you do not run the machines every 2 weeks you are asking for trouble. They showed me the brown gunk that came out of both pumps. After doing some research it is my understanding that the biodiesel is solvent cleaning the petro-diesel buildup out of the system. To date I have have not had any problems w/the Cummins or Case. Both Ford tanks are now cleaned out and I do not know whether or not to feel safe w/biodiesel now that I have everything cleaned or whether I should go back to petro-diesel and forget about bio.

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
