Which brings up another question. B-100 (at least the homebrew kind) is similar in color to the Dyed Diesel. And I know that you can get a similar fine for running B-100. But how do they know if you purchase the B-100 at a station, or homebrew it?
at least in Europe, test the exhaust gas with a strip of paper similar to litmus. But bio diesel looks nothing like off road fuel (non highway taxed.) It's a red as transmission fluid. The law as it stands before the sunset on it, home brewed B100 is legal as long as you do not sell it without a license and proper tax collections.
