Hey Todd;
I know we are not supposed to store fuel for long periods but I do have
some samples that I have kept around for over a year. Although these
were well reacted and crystal clear ( I check with a laser to guage
this) after a long time I do get some extremely fine light coloured
Volume change in the head space (air) due to expansion and contraction.
Volume in fuel didn't change.
Generally, filter clogging is a product of the biodiesel stripping off
varnish, paraffin and rust in bulk fuel tanks. The fine, light-colored
sediment is probably stearic methyl esters, I
I think the filter clogging story is just an urban legend.
Not. It's a reality. More predominant in bulk fuel storage. Automobiles can
generally get away with regular maintenace intervals as the fuel is constantly
being sloshed and jostled, not allowing the gringe to aggregate in abundance.

Darryl is correct. When I first joined the group I asked the same question. I
got a reply from a list member in Taiwan that perhaps did some experimentation.
He advised to use no more than a 15% mixed with your gasoline. I successfully
tried this out for myself with a 14.5 HP
The answer is No. gasoline engine works on a different principal and therefore
will have to be replaced with a diesel one! you can't mix and match
