Poor cold flow properties ?
With decreasing temperature more solids form and material approaches the pour point, the lowest temperature at which it will cease to flow. (Schumacher et al,1999)

Effects of poor cold flow properties
-Plugging/Clogging of filters and fuel tubes
-Increase in viscosity of BD results in poor combustion

Effect of additives on viscosity in low temp region
Effect of kerosene, diesel and antigel additive on the kinematic viscosity of B100 in low temperature region
Effect of ethanol, methanol and antigel additive on the kinematic viscosity of B100 in low temperature region
Reported results matches with Bhale et al (2009) studied for Mahua biodiesel
Higher values of viscosity leads to poor spray characteristics and problem in pumping and poor combustion. Hence viscosity should be low for proper combustion

Effect of additives on viscosity in low temp region
Effect of Castor biodiesel, Jatropha biodiesel and antigel additive on the kinematic viscosity of B100 in low temperature region
Higher viscosity value has impact on spray pattern.The change in the spray pattern can greatly change the combustion properties of the fuel mixture.

Conclusions• Based on the cold flow experimental results, the following conclusions have been
summarized;• Due to addition of ethanol up to 20%, there is significant improvement in cold flow
properties of biodiesel have been noticed. However, the addition of ethanol should be restricted due to its lower Cetane number.
• Similarly, blending of kerosene up to 20% in biodiesel improves cold flow properties of biodiesel considerably. However, higher blends of kerosene should be limited due to its poor lubricity, which may reduce the lubricity of biodiesel.
• In comparison with ethanol and kerosene, less improvement in cloud and pour point were observed when biodiesel blended with diesel up to 20 %. Compared to ethanol and kerosene, less improvement in cloud and pour point were observed when biodiesel blended with castor biodiesel and jatropha biodiesel. The effect of 2% commercial additive was found significant compared to other blended materials. The improved low temperature performance of biodiesel (B100) blended with alcohol, fossil based fuels; biodiesel in biodiesel blend; and with commercial Antigel additive shows its use under diverse cold climate temperatures where it is usable.
• Therefore, from all of these results, lower cost high FFA oil has a bigger potential as a feedstock for biodiesel production.
