Actually, they do call it 'biodiesel' on the 'How Bio-Fuel No.2 Works' page, look at #4. Elsewhere they claim it 'converts' the fuel.

They also claim that this is a 'new type of Biodiesel' on the FAQ page.

BTW, also misleading is their claim that Forbes, Kron4 and Business Times are 'saying' positive things, when the truth is the articles are nothing more than a press release from Biofuel Basics, which, is not any way, type or sort of any endorsement.

As FI stated, the product is pure snake oil. It does not thin anything other than your wallet.

If the additive is the same as the DieselSecret stuff, it is just xylene and naptha. Supposedly its true purpose, other than being a "secret cash cow" is to help water bond better to water block filters. Does it? Hell if I know. Does DuraLube work? Beats me? Do any of these mechanic in a bottle formulas work? Maybe. Look at it like this, if you think it is working, then it is! When your car breaks down, you can then ask yourself "i wonder if I would have broken down later if I hadn't used this stuff, or maybe earlier?".

The world just may never know!
