Dear Sirs:

Just to clear things up, the process of making bio-diesel removes soaps and glycerin from the bio-oil, which are responsible for the gelling (sebo) during cold weather.

Therefore, unlike straight vegetable oils (SVO) bio-diesels do NOT gel, which in fact was the main reason for processing them into bio-diesel in the 1st place.

Surprisingly, in Germany, there are many stations selling bio-diesel (much more than here in the Philippines).

As long as they meet the required fuel standards, there should be no barrier to their use in any model diesel vehicle.

Best Regards,
