What is the approx. cetane rating of a 99/1 biodiesel? (99% bio/1% petro) I ran several tanks in my '02 D'max and noticed several things. Engine was more quiet, exhaust was more mellow, mileage about the same, smelled like french fries going down the road and it fixed the issue I was having with my fuel sending unit. Since these guys quit selling retail, I don't buy it any more and use a dose of Diesel Kleen every couple tanks. I only drive it every other week for errands unless I'm towing.

The wiki article I posted has a section for alternate fuels. Looks like Bio generally has a pretty high CN. But since it isn't regulated, it probably varies a lot. 99/1% - makes me wonder why they even bother with the 1% petroleum. Seems insignificant.
Some sort of obscure regulation, I forget why. I'd burn it much more often if I could find a station that was closer than about 10 miles one way.
