I'm not an expert on this but I think you will find that biodiesel is
touted as a REPLACEMENT for sulphur, ie it has better lubrication
properties than sulphur. This is why you are seeing B5 and B10,
dino-diesel which is low sulphur with some biodiesel added to bring the
lubrication back up to scratch - I think. Am I sort of on the right
track here - comments from the list?
