Please read your owner's manual for the Ford Chassis. I don't believe any Ford diesel has a restriction on biodiesel but your manual is the final word on this.

The manual specifies that the Transit chassis diesel can use up to 20% bio diesel. The description of what to use is on page 120 of the electronic manual, but it may be on a different page in the printed version. I do not know. Here is what it says in the first paragraph:

Only use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel (ULSD) containing a maximum of 15 ppm sulfur and up to 20% biodiesel (B20). These fuels should meet the diesel specifications defined by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D975 for diesel and by ASTM D7467 for B6-B20 blends, or an equivalent

It goes on to make other statements about the fuel to use so you should read the entire section marked FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
