Yes and No. If your tank is inside, then gelling shouldn't be a problem. As others have said, filtering is key. Bio tends to swell the seals that dino tends to shrink. My guess is that is what happened to that other furnace.. BTU's are almost identical between Bio and Dino. Bio also has much higher cleaning ability, so a dirty,marginal system may plug up after all the gunk grom the tank and lines is loostened up. My main concern would be algee. Most Bio has the glycerin removed, helping with any groth problems. If straight veggie oil is left for a long period it can start to grow algee or go rancid. So if you fill the tank and it sits for 6 months or so befor a refill I would recommend AGAINST it, but if you fill the tank every 3 months or less, then you should have no problems at all. If your tank is outside, I wouldnt suggest using Bio until spring unless you also add an anti-gell product...at 1 1/2 normal strength to the Bio. I am looking into converting my whole farm over to Bio I grow and process myself, so anybodys thoughts would be welcome to me too. Mikethird party image

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
