Typical home-brewed bio gel point
Well, the feedback from several sources indicates that the addatives that keep petro diesel from clouding won't work for Bio - the chemistrys are too different. Has anybody tried Technol B100? Its supposed to be specifically formulated to improve cold temp properties of B100. I mixed 5...- Cheaper Jeeper

Typical home-brewed bio gel point
I started out running bio blends in my first F250 (up to B20) and never had an issue. Same with the MB, and with the F250 I have now. The MB had new return lines put on it by the guys I bought it from. They specialize in bio & WVO vehicles (GreenEye Motors in Eugene OR). So it was pretty much...- Cheaper Jeeper

Typical home-brewed bio gel point
I guess I've been really lucky. I've run my F250 and my MB 300CD thousands of miles on home made bio, and have not experienced any unusually high rate of filter clogging or anything. Just normal filter changes. I haven't ever experienced any fuel gelling either, but this is the first winter...- Cheaper Jeeper

Typical home-brewed bio gel point
I bought some PowerService in the white bottle last night and have already added 8 ounces to my 20 gallon tank. Just a hair "richer" mix than the instructions call for (8 ounces for 25 gallons fuel). The bottle says it is good for up to B20 blends, but I suspect that is just their CYA - the same...- Cheaper Jeeper

WOW! Adding PS to B50 @ 59 degrees ambient temps? You're being REALLY cautious, huh? Like I said I've been running home brew B100 at temps in the low 30's and haven't even added anything to it yet - though I think I better pretty soon...- Cheaper Jeeper

So B100 is good down to 12 degrees. Excellent data point. Is that home brew or commercial B100? No addatives, right?- Cheaper Jeeper

That sounds good, but how much #2 are you mixing with your B100? Are you ending up with B90, B70, B50? or what? Why is everyone being so vague?- Cheaper Jeeper

Typical home-brewed bio gel point
Yeah, I'm not running - and not interested in running - any WVO. What I am running is home-made B100 - 100% biodiesel. So far temps down to 34 degrees have been no problem, but I'm wondering how much colder it can get before I start having issues.- Cheaper Jeeper

Anybody know what kind of temps home brew can handle without gelling up? And will standard anti-gel additives (PowerService 911 for example) work OK with home brewed bio?- Cheaper Jeeper

?'s to those making they're own diesel.
The two best pieces of advice I can give you are 1) Get yourself set up with a reliable source of oil first. Even if you have to pay a little for it. I get around 55 gallons per month from my main source - and pay 20 cents a gallon for it - but it is worth it to keep my supplier loyal. 2) Get...- Cheaper Jeeper

Coolant Question
Related question: I recently swapped a 140k 7.3 into my truck to preplace my 360k 6.9. I refilled with "regular" green antifreeze and am planning on adding napa kool. Is that OK? Regular antifreeze with added SCA?- Cheaper Jeeper

old diesel rabbit engine in a 99 durango
400 ft lbs torque? From a VW TDI? What you been smokin'? The newest hottest 1.9L only makes around 250 ft lbs. stock - and I doubt you're going to bump that number up by 60% - unless you bolt it to a second one!

SMF flywheel that uses stock DMF pressure plate
I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for. The DMF is about a half inch thicker than the SMF and the pressure plate is a half inch shallower to make up the difference so they can both use the same throw-out bearing, fork, and slave cylinder. For what you paid for that...- Cheaper Jeeper
