Re: [Biofuel] Winterizing biodiesel
If you improve the cold flow point to where it can be pumped out of the tank at least, you can solve the cold filter plug point by using a heated filter (if you can get the engine warmed up to the point of having some heat to heat the filter at least). But if the whole tank turns into wax, you are sort of stuck On 6/28/06, Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, I know it's a bit early for some of us to be thinking winter,but it occurs to me that the southern hemisphere is in the thick ofit.

Re: [Biofuel] Winterizing biodiesel
I just received the following in an email from Technol: "Hi Tom, Thanks for your interest in our product. Our B100 is for Cold Flow improvement in B100 not for a blend and it does not improve the Cold Filter Plug Point. CFPP is what you need to improve in order to have your fuel flow through a filter."
