As funny as that is - I see merit in it. I'm new here, so some comments may be of "ignorance" - excuse them if they are ... but...
Is there a standard we can specify that meets and exceeds the various aspects of current certification testing? Take the most stringent of each apsect to be tested - viscosity, pH etc - and have a single, HIGHER standard which would mean anything meeting that standard automatically meets all the others. This gives the biodieselers the "high ground". We can demonstrate we're happy to step up to the mark - in fact we're interested in exceeding it (we are... right?) Striving for perfection is an admirable thing - I also realise it's not a real worl thing... but as a guiding principle it's good.
