Can I use alternative fuel in my diesel enginge truck?

Question

In traveling through Kansas and Nebraska I saw gas stations with E85 fuel wihch was a lot cheaper than diesel. Can I use this in my diesel engine?

Answer 1

No, E85 is an alternative for Gasoline -- not diesel.

You can run Bio-diesel though.  It's usually B10, B20, etc.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

No.  E85 is 15% gasoline and 85% alcohol.  It can be burned in some gasoline engines but not in diesels.

Answer 3

You can't use E85, but you can use hydrogen like I do.  It's not hard  to install yourself. You can do it within a hour or two. I know there's controversy on the net about it but honestly, YES it does work. I have done this to my 96 Saturn and currently get about 50 miles per gallon.

I wrote a blog review about it here:

It's very simple. You don't change your engine or computer. A quart-size (95O cc) container is placed somewhere under the hood. You fill it with DISTILLED WATER and a little bit of BAKING SODA. The device gets vacuum and electricity (12 Volts) from the engine, and produces HHO gas (Hydrogen+Oxygen). The HHO gas is supplied to the engine's intake manifold or carburetor as shown below.

Hope this helps.
