Default Biodiesel based model diesel fuel

I have long felt that the one problem for diesel is the residuel smell of the kero based fuel. I know that the true diesel lovers say that's the best part and that's fine for them but to get others interested in diesel we need to address this. I know there have been several posts on this board about using Biodiesel in place of Kero and it does seem to work. Since biodiesel is mostly vegetable oils it should be low in residual aroma (similar to castor from glow fuel). If this is so then even if we need to use a little more either to get it kicked off it might eleminate the diesel smell that glow guys object to. To test this I'd like to know what % either those who have tried this have used to get good starting and smooth running. Also how much "booster" was added? Last what are some sources of B100 biodiesel?

Best, Dennis
