Hmmm. I didn't think that computers were introduced till the second or third year of the 6.5 liter versions. All the 6.2's were mechanical injection. I've got a friend with a mechanical 6.5 that he runs on B100, and except for gelling issues in the winter, he says it has always run fine. Sounds like a fuel supply issue. Maybe the lift pump is weak and the injection pump is momentarily exhausting the supply of fuel in the filter. A clogged or gelled filter can also behave like this -- fine for the first 10 seconds of hard acceleration up a hill, then kaput, as the flowrate demanded by the injection pump exceeds the flowrate through the partially clogged filter. And if you let it set for little, the filter will re-fill, and it runs fine again. On my mitsubishi truck, I had to change the filter about 4 times over the first year when I switched to biodiesel. Around 1000 miles, 3000 miles, 6,000 miles, and 10,000 miles.

I have an aquintance who is running his Chevy 6,2 litre truck on biodiesel, and he experiences mysterious engine stops etc. The car will start immedeatly again after a few seconds. He suspects it to be a computer bug in the injection system.Anybody with similar problems ?
