I found this company online, they specialize in cold flow additives for oil and hydraulic fluid but found that the chemistry is applicable to biodiesel as well.

Their US branch is close to me and they sent me samples of 3 products and I blended up some samples and dropped them off today along with some neat B100 for them to test cloud point, pour point, and cold filter plugging point.

I will advise the results. From price indication it would seem to add $.0125 per gallon.

I have the results but need to figure out how to attach an excel spreadsheet or pdf file.

Our untreated B100 has a CFPP of -3F or 26.6F

Study shows no improvement on CFPP but improvement in cloud point, pour point, and storage at cold temps.
