I can't remember which of the Canada or USA researchers it was, but one
of the main biodiesel research guys wrote a report a few years ago that
found that
"winter diesel" (#1, basically kerosene, +additives that vary
depending on where it's being sent to, AFAIK) was as effective as the
additives available at that time, at least the ones they tested.
That may not be the case now - probably the additives are better and
more specialized, but it might be worth trying just that - certainly
it's affordable and available if you live in a cold climate
region...just go to the pump and add some to the biodiesel, or make up
a few samples at different treat rates and put them in the freezer for
a few days (labelled!)
Back in early days of more basic SVO kits, and even now if you have
thick SVO/WVO and no tank heater, 10-20% diesel made a big difference
once once it got below -10C (where our Canola WVO tended to start to
get very much a thick gravy consistency)
...you might be able to use less, with your B100
...or look at adding a tank heater, inline heater, filter heater (start
with an inline heater, such as our VEG-Therm, ahead of the filter)...
then you might not need to add anything. or less of it.

Thanks Luc, Thanks from me too. This will help for
winterizing in the Sierras. I especially like the
paragraph:
"We tested Wintron X30, and yes, it really does work
(see photograph below). Biodieselers in the US tested
Arctic Express apparently with good results. We have
no independent reports on Lubrizol's product, but
Lubrizol is a reputable company and their biodiesel
antigel is likely to be effective.
Be aware that these antigel agents contain small
amounts of toxic compounds, usually toluene, and must
be handled with care.."
