Think about it. High cetane values...co-solvent...no washing... All this adds up to a reasonable surety that not 100% of the co-solvent and alcohol is removed from the biodiesel. And as a co-solvent, could it even be washed out?
Then one must ask what the emissions are of such a finished blend. They certainly would not be the same as B-100. Maybe better. Maybe worse. One might hazard to guess that there are some pretty nasty co-solvents out there with respect to products of combustion. All indicators are that the finished product is a blend of biodiesel, methanol and the cosolvent, as it's virtually impossible to distill all the methanol and colsolvent out. This would be a completely new fuel, one that would be forced to undergo tier health effects studies independently of alkyl esters.
