I put it in to a full batch of bio, still in the processor and around 50C. Mix for 20mins then pump out to storage.

It doesn't appear to vaporise but decomposes (violently) around 100C so below that should be fine

MPG is definitely better in the Audi and RangeRover with 2EHN than without by 2 or 3 (which is significant when the vehicle is only doing low 20s anyway)
7+ years of making bio.
1997 RangeRover P38A 2.5DSE and 2001 Audi Allroad 2.5 V6 Tdi all on B100
Home heating and hot water system on Palm based B100 and Aarrow 7KW wood burner on glycerol logs

There's a considerable difference between using and not using 2-ehn in the trusty old Picasso paticularly in winter, not quite as noticeable in summer though.

At what point do you add it to the bio Jim?

As I decant into a 25ltr cubie that'll be used to fill the 'casso immediately.

Makes a very noticable difference in my DCi trafic van...not so much in the XC90 though.
