I haven't had experience with the powerstroke, but I did run biodiesel in the older international diesel -- in mid 1994 they switched from the 7.3 liter international indirect injection engine to the 7.3 liter powerstroke which is direct injection. Completely different engines.... the older international IDI one is way easier to work on, and uses plain mechanical injection, instead of hydraulic mechanical injection like the DI power stroke engines. I've heard that the newer ones are a real pain to work on. I ran mine on biodiesel a bit, and it ran better on B20 and higher than on #2 diesel. So... I know that doesn't really address your question at all...
What about the cummins? Are they available there?
