Dear Dom Amato, Can you elaborate somewhat more on this. I've already seen several research papers stating that the 'normal' available additives for dino-diesel do little or nothing for Biodiesel. On the other hand, there are a few commercial products available which claim to to the thing for BioD.
I'm making my BioD based on animal fat (WVO), so I only can use a mixture of dino and BIO-Diesel to get the needed lower gelpoint. So I would very much be intrested in any solution to lower the gelpoint without dino-diesel, prefferably in a reliable, cheap and... homemade(?) way.
