Default Blending biodiesel

Hey there, I just got a 95 powerstroke and am gonna run biodiesel purchased from a local homebrewer. I have done my research on the truck mods and want to start with a 20 per cent mix. Whats the best method of mixing the fuels? I have a heated garage and intend on using 20 liter fuel cans. I plan on adjusting the ratios buy leaving it out overnight and seeing how it looks before i pour it in. Should the fuels be at a certain temp? How long or vigurous do you mix it? I am building my own reactor now and have a 1000 liter tank for future use

I set out a couple sample mixes in a clear container and watch for settling in the buttom...and check them at early morning temps.
We have found B100 is good down into the 40's and even below. With a blend you can easily get into the 30's and 20's ....Below that you want to be careful.... But of course you always want to stay on the safe side of your test samples.

My brother and I have used Biodiesel for many years now.
Stay on the safe side of your temps and you'll be fine.
