Re: Kids Build Soybean-Fueled Car


I dont see any good reason to not be pusing diesel especially when you CAN
run them on 100% renewable fuels as opposed to fossil fuels

How about because when it gets cold biodiesel doesn't burn? That's why all
the biodiesel out there is going into mixtures with regular diesel at no
more than 15%. To use 100% biodiesel you have to address the cold weather
operations problem.

So? Diesel fuel gels and has to be heated in cold weather.
