This is the same as if you were running WVO, but WVO will take a long time to properly heat in real cold weather. WVO is always thicker too.

Even though I run one two tank car and blend in two others I think probear is on the money for your situation. It doesn't get nearly as cold where we are as opposed to where you are. I don't do bio d because I'm not crazy about the chemical aspect and mist washing the stuff then disposing of the glycerin by product. I just collect, settle, spin in my centrifuge and put in the cars. Very little waste and it's just much simpler for me.
