Hi Mike and All,   Depending on how these degradation tests were performed, I'd say this was good news. It says that Biodiesel is biodegradable in the environment and DinoD lingers quite a bit. If there's a spill of BioD it will degrade fast. Since both tests are in an aqueous or aqautic enviro

Not very fuel efficient and when the little car pulls out in front of you, you probably will not notice it. The ride in those trucks is pretty rough (rode in them for over 10 years) and you will just think you hit another bump in the road. Don't let Arnold see it or we will have something similar
