Default Biodiesel in 7.3L Ford.

I'm going to invest in this Fuel Meister [http://www.fuelmeister.com/]. What DO you guys get for gas mileage on your 7.3s?

I live in the north east and know of the gelling affect of biodiesel. Is there anyways I could invest in a warming device that would be non hazardous. I know biodiesel once properly mixed is not toxic.

Let me know what you guys think.

What towing advantages does the 7.3L Superduty have over the 7.3L excursion?

the 7.3 SD and the 7.3 excursion are the exact same thing, excursions have F-250 frames/suspensions the only thing diffrent with the super duty is the leaf-springs and shocks.

Default biodiesel

I have also thought about getting one of those fuelmeister's .what do think about the cost and construction of them . The cost seemed a little on the expensive side to me , but worth looking into .

I think it is worth it. 3000 for the setup and you pay 70 cents a gallon rather than 4.50$ a gallon. Your annual fuel cost on a diesel is atleast 5000-7000 if you use it a lot.
