Good to see I'm not the only one trying this stuff. Please update with your impressions after a few miles.
The only noticible difference is the engine is extremely smooth after a cold start. It was 45f this morning and usually I get a bit more vibration after the first minute of running at this temp. This morning, nothing. Dead smooth from the moment I turned the key. I can't seem to find specifications for this particular fuel but one web site claims hydrotreated biomass diesel is
80+ cetane If thats true it would exceed even the best biodiesel. I'm going to contact the seller for a data sheet.
I took some comparison pics of 100% petro diesel (left, yellow) and biomass diesel (right, clear).
