During the winter months here biodiesel, and all other fuels for cars, have extra additives to keep them liquid in double digit negative temperatures. But as I mentioned earlier, even at room temperature I couldn't get the stove to work properly. It is the model's fault, maybe one day I'll fool around with modding it, so that thicker fuels with higher flash points will work better. Or I'll just stick to gasoline.
