Kerosene or Winterized Diesel for Winter Blending?
I was wondering if it is more effective, in your experiences, to use pure kerosene for blending with home brew biodiesel in the winter or just to use winterized diesel (which I guess contains a lot of kerosene too). I ask this because kerosene is typically 20 - 40 cents per gallon more expensive than diesel in the winter. But, if I only had to use half the amount of kerosene to cut my biodiesel… for example if I could run a 80/20 (biodiesel/kerosene) or a 60/40 (biodiesel/winterized diesel) at the same cold weather performance, the kerosene, although more expensive initially, would be more cost effective since I would have to buy less of it and also could in turn use more biodiesel all winter.
Any thoughts?
