Hello all.
I know nothing about diesel engines, but I find in my new business (starting 3rd year) I need a step van for my equipment. I have an interest in a van with a 4bt for two reasons: 1) durability, 2) am very curious about using biodiesel to save fuel costs and to be "off the grid" so to speak. So, what I am curious about is how do you maintain these engines, are they difficult to work on yourself, can you get decent mileage in a step van buy regearing the rear end. I really know next to nothing about these, but am fairly competent in maintaing and repairing my Chevy S-10 pickup. Feel free to chime in. I look forward to hearing from you.
