Typically the bio needs to have the glyserins (fatty bits) removed from it or it tends to gell things up. Some folks work out ways around this, others just do the chemical process to settle the glyserins out. Either way is a bit of a fuss but doable. How cold is your fuel oil storage tank? Mine is in a basement room, but that unused, unheated room gets so cold in the 20 below cold snaps I still have problems with #2 fuel gelling a bit. Bio is slightly more sensitive to cold. So if your tank is outside or otherwise cold, you will need to pay attention to gelling, and esp if you are trying to get by without doing the seperation. --->Paul
