Check your owners manual, maybe have to dilute with regular D2 to run. Is this the 5, 15 or what % that you have. We used to have a Willy station but its prices was too high and it went under. I guess it sounded good, but just couldn't compete with D2 nor are some of the newer engines compatible.

I think you find that Ford allows up to 5 or 10% bio. Really, with what fuel system repairs are like I just wouldn't risk it.

It would make good fire starter.

You might want to go on one of the Ford forums to check. Powerstroke.org has a bio-fuel section. I believe the issue is that bio will dissolve the fuel tank liner & clog the filter. Many use in-bed tanks for their bio-diesel.

Take it and put it in at fill-up at about 1/2 to 1 gallon rate. It will lube things up and be ok.
Be sure it was sealed up real well though. Bio is hygroscopic and it loves water. Although the 6.0 does not have a problem with water like the 6.4 common rail does.

I would use something else to start a fire. Boy Scout juice is a lot cheaper, and it will burn when matched.
