The diesel repair shops are full of all kinds of horror stories about it. Main problems I have been hearing are people who are not filtering it adequately, or are ignoring the differences in chemistry.

I run a B10 blend in the winter and a B 20 in the summer. What I've seen so far is less smoke, better performance, cleaner oil analysis, and lower costs. On the down side, my repair bills for injecter fouling and related engine/head damage are WAY up (just got done putting 3 grand into my pickup). It is more oily and for those engines that were made for LSD I think the extra sticky and tacky factor of the bio diesel is making more deposits. For 3 grand I could have bought a lot of dino diesel.

bio-fuel will clean the fuel system,storage tank,fuel lines,fuel tank,.you will experience fuel filters stopping up until the system is clean,then
operation should return to normal,you should see more power,less smoke,on less fuel.
i use cat, cummins, & john deere,engines,i use mostly 10 or 20% blend,i have used a half & half
mix,with no problems.i don't know about cold weather as i do treat for cold weather. good luck,maybe someone will comment. sonny

It"s worth browsing round the forum at the link below for a little extra info on making and running Biodiesel. There are several different approaches to the process.
I don"t have room to hide a DIY processor but I"ve successfully trialed both my pickup and the car on commercially made B100.

The chemistry works, but the actual mechanism is not described completely accurately on websites.

It sounds great but I cant see where all the used cooking oil or new oil for that matter is going to come from to feed the U.S. need for diesel fuel, mabye as a supplement? I do think it's a step in the right direction 'tho, but it's far from the solution.

Not enough corn to make liquor for Ethanol production either. Brazil does it with sugarcane I think.

I wonder what are the byproducts of making it, what do you have left over? I have access to cooking oil, 150gal a week. I think I'm going to try it out I keep you posted

The by product is a dark brown liquid (at room temps) mixture of unreacted methanol, glycerin, fatty acids and soaps from the biodiesel chemical reaction. It is supposed to be pretty good for use as a heavy duty clean-up soap (to clean up after wrenching on greasy tractor parts, for example). About 20% by volume of this by-product is produced. The exact amount depends on the quality of the original feedstock. Used cooking oils with high free fatty acids give the most residue. This residue is mainly bio degradable. Larger firms re-distill it to reclaim the methanol as it is expensive.
