[Biofuel] lite blend?
At what point does a biodiesel blend's effect become neglagable? I bring up this point after reading the directions on a bottle of canola based fuel addative that is made localy, and sells for over$15/l. The directions suggest to add 1 litre to 1000 litres of diesel. In my unprofesional opinion, 1 litre in 100 litres of fuel should be a minimum to get any benafit.

Re: [Biofuel] lite blend?
If the blend is purely for lubricity (as opposed to emissions reductions), then can a 0.1% concentration do anything? I know that 2% biodiesel is supposed to restore lubricity to the low sulpher fuel, but if it is selling for 15 times the price of biodiesel, maybe it is better and a 0.1% concentration works. Or maybe someone has just found a new way to make money of gullible consumers. I've also heard to just put a cup of straight canola oil from the grocery store in the tank to restore lubricity.

They make more money that way. Kinda like the directions on the detergent box that tell you that you have to use 5 times as much as you really need. ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/

I've also heard to just put a cup of straight canola oil from the grocery store in the tank to restore lubricity. 1% biodiesel improves lubricity by 60%, said to be enough for older diesels to use ULSD fuel without a retrofit. The US seems to be going for a 1% biodiesel additive, France uses 2-5%. There are some figures somewhere in the archives on canola lubricity, very oily oil, half a cup of canola would no doubt help.

What does it claim to do for the engine?
