    6.2 and bio

    Bjorn i agree, the hypercycle process is the neatest thing since sliced bread. I had a chance to go to the MAN plant while in germany last month. I saw a pic on the wall in a hallway of the hypercycle process. Couldn't read it though. I don't speak german. Do you know how long of a shelflife...

    6.2 and bio

    I don't think so. Unless you have a different IP than i do. 3 deg is a pretty big jump for the 6.2. The cold weather high idle only keeps the engine at 900 rpm's untill enought heat is built up for smooth operation. It aslo comes on when the AC is turned on in vehicles with a auto tranny. I...

    I finally burned through the drivers side tank of bio. I got 16.1MPG. That's about 4MPG loss. The engine runs smoother now. I think that the bio probally cleaned the injectors. I still have a tank full on the pass side and i'll run the numbers also. The banks could only pull 8 lbs of boost at...

    Rizzo, As far as the banks goes I'm happy with it's performance. But working on it is a different story. They paid no attention to detail! They didn't chamfer the bolt holes. So you have to line everything up perfect to assemble it. Parts were not deburred and flashing was left on the castings...

    Bjorn, The stuff i bought was B99 from a commerical supplier in houston. I haven't tried it in my multifuel, only my pickup truck. It's a 82, 3/4ton with a "J" series 6.2 and a banks turbo. I normally get 20 mpg at 60mph. I only tried 1 tankfull, it took 18 gallons so the tank was close to...

    6.2 and bio

    I tried some commerical made bio in my 82 3/4ton with a 6.2 and a banks turbo. I wasen't impressed. I lost a lot of power and milage. Although the engine started and ran great. I havent tried it since. The commerically made stuff cost too much. When diesel goes back up. I'll give it another shot.
