That follows my caution to only use DOT spec BioDiesel. Never home brewed stuff... There has been a somewhat painful growth into BioDiesel to make a spec fuel standard and get the buyers to understand what they are buying.
Early "home brew" folks did not do good chemistry, thus did not get good results, which led to engine damage, injection pump damage, etc etc etc.... On Specification BioDiesel holds much tighter refining standards which eliminates the early industry home brew issues. The one issue that remains is the gel point for B100, which remains higher than "Dino Diesel". Something to keep in mind if you operate in freezing temps.. . Seasonal adjustment would require switch to pump diesel, blended to the "winter blend".
