Fabman,
Have you done anymore testing on this product. I've been running 50/50 at temps as low as 10* with no problems so far. I put some Technol in with it. I also added 8oz. of Diesel Kleen (white bottle) with the regular fuel.
How much technol per gal of Bio does the company recommend? I used 6oz to treat 16gal of bio, I think that was over kill but I didn't have the time or measuring device to be more accurate.

I haven't finished my "cold" chamber yet, but I'm working on it!

The cold chamber is a sealed refrigerated chamber with a glass front [so pics can be taken] with a very sensitive control. This will allow me to drop the temp in the chamber 1 degree at a time, so I can observe the cloud and gell point.

I also wanted to ask you if that stuff has antioxidant properties as well?

Don't know about antioxidant properties, but I would doubt it, as B-100 contains about 10% oxygen [biodiesel is an oxygenated fuel].

The oxygen contained in the BD molecule is not a problem because it has no bond sites available
Free atmospheric O2 is the problem. Since BD has a low surface tension it easily absorbs O2 from the air and it is that oxygen that is responsible for the oxidation problem. A lot of research is being done to counter it but nothing definite at this time.

Just got back from my cabin in the mountains and wanted to give an update on my Bio at cold temps. I filled my truck up on Jan. 31st with a 50/50 mix; I added 4oz. of technol and 8oz of Diesel Kleen (white bottle). Went to work and left the truck sitting in the driveway not plugged in. Temperatures hovered around zero and for the seven days while I was gone. I got home Wednesday night the 7th of Feb. plugged the truck in and went to bed. Got up the next morning and the truck started right up, did some local running around then pulled the snowmobile trailer to the cabin. The truck sat till Saturday not plugged in and started with no problems. The temps never got above 10* during the day. So far I have hadn't had any problems with a 50/50 mix. I'm digging the $36.00 fill up's now the biggest expenditure for a couple day's of riding is the cost of gas for the sleds.
