Bio has a MUCH higher gel point than regular diesel. I believe B100 is somewhere around 40 F depending on feedstock, so this time of year it can be a problem. Summer months you can run the B99 with no issues at all (unless you have a dirty fuel tank, in which case it will clean the junk out and plug your filter).

Talk to your local supplier and see what type of dino diesel they are mixing with the bio, and what additives (if any) have been put in. Find out if they know the gel point for each grade of fuel and make your decision based on as much info as you can find. If nothing else, stick 12 oz in a coke bottle and leave it out overnight to see if it gels.
