I guess my main gripe with straight veggie oil are all the cold temp issues....more crap to fail...more opportunity for error.

I think a custom blend may be in order.....and further exploration of cold "enhancements" are certainly called for.

I would like to see a mix volume vs. cloud temp (or other useful cold behavior indicator) graph.

Maybe even have a Diesel #1, Biodiesel and Veggie oil blend that optimizes cold (for winter), BTU's (HP please), and price (of course).....as petrodiesel price increases then bump the biodiesel vol %.

Just some thoughts.
