"Let us know how that works. BioDiesel is big in our region (Willie Nelson country), and right now the best guess is that some of the big producers are putting about two gallons of petroleum-based products (mostly gasoline and Diesel) into every gallon of bioDiesel they produce.

So, the big challenge right now is to lower that number to 1:1 or less. Succeed in that, and you will get the attention of the world."

????????? We've been doing this?????? The stuff you are buying, the mixed stuff, is the ethanol free Bio that you have to add the diesel to, to keep it from gelling up.

You ought to visit www.steelsoldiers.com (military vehicle site) and go to the alternate fuels section. Allot of us are powering our deuces with 100% Bio and have been doing so for some time. My username there is EZFEED.

Basically the way around it is to install another fuel tank or a small starter tank so that you can get the engine running and warmed up with diesel then switch over to the bio. Kinda like some of the tractors do with the small starting tanks. What we do with our trucks is to plumb a line form our water pumps (usually via the heater hoses) into a coil we have installed inside of the Bio tank. As the engine warms up it heats the tank of Bio and liquefies it (if it's gelled) and then you switch over to the Bio. The Bio we make from waste vegetable oil contains methanol from the refining process and is filtered to 5 microns to pass through the 10 micron filters on our trucks. it stays pretty fluid until you get into the low 20's or teens. Great stuff, cleans your fuel system out and offers better lubricity to the injector pump too.
