Do you have a list of states that mandate B1, or some reference? I'd like to know if FL is included, and I'm having trouble finding anything authoritative.
Do a google search on that or Biodiesel Magazine. I will do the same.

Brake fluid absorbs water at an alarming rate, but as long as it's in a sealed container it's fine. Also w/ BioD water settles to the bottom esp if it's fuel grade quality.
