Hi Marc,
Interesting experience. I currently run 100% homemade unwashed biodiesel and
it starts right away, even down to about 48F the other day. Try to run the
engine until it reaches op temp before shutting down, though.
Cummins doesn't want you to use more than 5-10% E85 for some reason. Could
be wrong about the percentage, but they have some reservations.
Alcohol is hygroscopic and picks up water, which will be carried past the
filter/water separator. Don't know what the effect is.

PS. Thanks for your kind comments in the last issue of MVM! Appreciate it.
Should have my biodiesel article ready for next issue. BB
