Abstract | Increased use of biodiesel has created some handling challenges for bringing blended fuels to the consumer. The most immediate handling concern for blenders is assurance that diesel fuels and biodiesel can be blended uniformly and in a single phase, particularly in colder climates. Neat biodiesel has a much higher cloud point than conventional diesel fuels and this can impact handling procedures. This concern became a priority after Minnesota passed a law requiring all on-higthway diesel fuels to contain at least 2% biodiesel as early as 1 July 2005. |
