atomization of Bio compared to regular diesel produce larger droplets (at the injector nozzle) the larger droplets result in lower HP, increase in emissions and reduced combustion. as one goes up in concentrations of Biodiesel the high the viscosity and cetane the lower the process of atomization decreases, making for a poor air/fuel ratio...
