So...I'm going to drive up to Yellowstone on Sunday with a 250 gallon tank on the back of a 3500 full of 50/50 or 80/20 biodiesel. Long story short I need todrive there on Sunday and I'm taking the diesel 3500 instead of my V10 for obviousreasons...besides the fact that the b/dzl is free(another long story).
Instead of jacking with the viscosity chemically anyone know a good place to order or buy a drop in heating implement hooked up to the battery? I need to:
1) pick a heater up in UT,NV, CA or
2) have one shipped overnight?

 

Forget it...
I'm adding cetane booster to my biodiesel,
adding arctic express anti-gel,
purchased barrel heaters from utah biodiesel,
..
I'm gonna burn B100 from SOCAL until I hit Idaho Falls, then switch to Petrodiesel,
turn on a gas generator in the truck bed that will power a barrel heater on each barrel of B100 to maintain 90 degrees F, burn the petrodiesel up through MT and then when I get back down to Idaho, gonna turn off my generator and my heater and fill er up with hot B100 again.
The Cetane booster and the arctic express anti gel are just in case the generator fails....
Also for future note if anyone else is running B100 in the cold supposedly you can run 20% kerosene, 60% Bio and 20% petrodiesel.
..
I guess its a lot easier if u had a heated fuel line but if u live in CA that doesnt make much sense to spend money on one.

 

I run 80/20 or better known as B20 and it has gotten down into the single digits here. So far no problems.

 

I run WVO and petro blend, usually 70/30 when cold, and going to run up to 100 percent wvo when we get the hot az summers. I had a bad experience with it and the cold weather. Hopefully tomorrow will be alright as I have some wvo in Diablo right now. about 60/40.
