    B20 Fuel and RAM

    I'm reading this correctly.

    Is B20 approved for the RAM Turbo Diesel?

    Cummins approves the use of up to B20 in the RAM trucks for municipal, government, and commercial fleets only. This applies to selected model year vehicles. Please consult Chrysler for specific requirements and approved vehicle models.

    Ford says I'm not supposed to burn it in my F-250 (no more than 5% if I remember). I try to avoid it but not always possible. Sounds like Cummins doesn't like it so much either.

    In the manual for my 2016 Ram it states that it is ok up to 20% but you need to change the fuel filters more often. I try to avoid the 20% if I can. In Oregon there is a minimum of 5% Bio. It seems to run good on it and the filters seem to be ok up to the 15K mile change intervals (I actually go 16K which is every other oil change). I have heard that the 5% actually does help lubricate and is good for the motor. I haven’t seen any facts to back that up so at this point it is only hear say.

    The ECODiesel manual states up to B6. If you use B6 you cut your oil and filters life in half.

    My 13 Ford 6.7 Diesel, is B20. (Is is right on the emblem on the doors also). Not sure on the 6.4 Ford Diesel, but I suspect it is the same.
