Absolutely correct the two will not stay mixed for long.

Biodiesel is also an oxygenated fuel and contains aprox 10 percent oxygen, that may account for a slight HP increase.

Interesting I hadn't thought of the oxygenation actually enhancing combustion and countering the lower BTUs. Glad to hear there is no power deficit and there may actually be a power bonus with BD
