The location of the source has a huge roll in determining net BTU's per gallon wheather it be dino oil or vegetable oil. Example: From my combustion engineers handbook for gross BTU/lb #2 Alaska crude= 18470btu/lb #2 MiddleEast crude= 19070btu/lb #2 Venezuela crude= 18400btu/lb Clean #2D contains about 500ppm of water contained with-in the fuel. Clean B100 contains about 1500ppm of water contained with-in the fuel. Both quotes from ASTM standards. T_Bone
