Hi Everyone:
Im wondering if anyone has any examples of folks converting their ncv3 to run on biodiesel. It seems the main issues have to do with the biodiesel getting into the crankcase and the fumes clogging the dpf. Potential solutions then are a reprogramming of the ECU so that it does not inject on both the up and down strokes (this is programmed in to provide fuel fumes on the exhaust stroke to burn the residue in the DPF.). Reprogramming (reflashing) would eliminate the possibility of biodiesel remaining un-combusted (biodiesel has a higher flash point) in the cylinder on the exhaust stroke. Additionally, removing/bypassing the DPF which would then have no fuel to combust the burnt particles. Any thoughts?
