You can run a blend in MB right now. No need for bio-D
As for the house, the guys over on altfuelfurnace are getting close to modifing a Becket to burn WVO.

Why? Because I want to heat my house and if I make bio for that I might as well burn it in the car as well. My furnace is only 4 years old, cost me $4000, and I'm not going to replace it again so I can burn WVO.
I would think straight WVO might cause algae, but does your blend pose any risk of algae? I know, dumb question--with gas in the mix I wouldn't think so but just thought I'd ask to confirm.
Also, what about anti-gel? You make no mention of any gelling problems so I'm assuming either the gas or the Power Service additive takes care of that. I don't run my car in the winter when there is salt on the road, but it does get cold here before the snow flies so gelling would be a concern.
Also, after switching to this blend, did your filters get clogged up from the dino diesel getting cleaned out?
Thanks...
