That is the difference between ASTM standard BioD and crap that some people market as BioD. In the homebrew BioD world, those who properly wash and dry their BioD experience NO fuel line or filter problems after the petroD sludge is cleaned out. On Sun, 15 Oct 2006 08:00:24 -0500, Jim Cathey

Mix it. I've found that you can have a percentage of WVO in the tank based on the low temp of the day. Wake up in the morning and it's 70, 70% veg should work ok. I've tried this at temps ranging from 30-80 and percentages accordingly. On Sun, 23 Apr 2006 22:31:41 -0500, Bob Rentfro
