Caitlan,
1. Some people cal a mixture of vegetable oil, diesel and regular unleaded gas a blend. I hope you are not trying that - several people have lost their injection pump on blends.
2. Biodiesel has problems below 40F (or is it 30f), but, if you keep it below 25%, you should be OK. We need at least 1% biodiesel to restore the lubricity loss in ultra low sulfur fuel.
Good luck.

If he can keep his prices like this...that's what I'm aiming for :)
I started with a DIY B25ish blend, right now I've got half a tank of almost pure B100 waiting for another half of petrol to make it B50ish...started to swap out some fuel hoses for more compatible ones...just gonna put in the good stuff as the old stuff goes, bit by bit.
Just trying to take it slowly, since there's plenty for me to address on the car so far...
