the new f450 duel wheels 6.3 twin turbo.but i heard that you cant run home heating oil in them.but now i heard you can but you need to disconnect some computer thing for the fuel.it has some kind of fuel cleaning thing if it dosent see the right fuel it shuts down the truck.but by running home heating oil i save one doller a gallon.

Negative.. The only fuel you can run in in the new 6.4 ford is ULSD or BIO but I think the bio has to be b20 or less. don't think you can run b100 either...
