Here is the new Cold Flow study
The NBB released it today: 20050728_Gen-354.pdf Cold Flow study. They were just studying 2% biodiesel (B2) in response to the Minnesota deal. conclusion: "Result from the test showed that the biodiesel must be kept at least 10 F above its cloud point to successfully blend with diesel fuels in cold climates."
I think this is an overly conservative conclusion. It also depends on the kind of biodiesel you use, Soy, canola, WVO, etc. The results would be different for each. It gets much colder in Minnesota than it does in Seattle, but I run 100% soy bio all winter with no problems.
