i've run B100 almost exclusively for over 100K miles now over the last
decade, and have started our 617 when snow was over a foot deep on the
hood and it had been sitting for several days.
temps were probably never lower than in the teens (F*), but it
would seem that many of the alleged concerns about running BioD are
wildly overblown. (it also makes a difference what the stock was that
the BioDiesel was made from. also, if it's commercially produced, you
might ask whether or not it has any winterizing additives; some does.)
it takes noticeably longer for the engine to come up to 'normal'
operating temps when compared to #2, but that's to be expected when
using a fuel that produces less waste heat.
cheers!

I discovered a local biodiesel processing plant in Portland, ME. They have a
retail B100 pump as well. I put some in my tank the other day to achieve an
overall 20% blend. The car started and ran just fine this morning despite 7°F
temp!
