Biodiesel B5 is allowed in California:

Therefore, biodiesel remains a suspect in the issue until proven otherwise.
The more the trails lead, the more it is leading to biodiesel and its decomposition / metabolite products.
That leads us to a 2nd order effect where ASTM 975 just do not apply --- as no one test 2nd effects from metabolites.
On October 4th, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) issued its Biodiesel Regulatory Guidance. The guidance document follows months of discussion between the ARB and biodiesel stakeholders regarding ARB's biodiesel/renewable diesel regulatory process. The document clarifies ARB's existing policy for blends above B5 and establishes guidance that ARB is unlikely to regulate blends up to B5 for the next five years while it continues testing and that ARB will continue to work on blends of B6 and above, which it expects to issue regulations for in late 2012.
