Abstract:
Methods of making a diesel fuel blend having enhanced cold properties; methods of lowering the cloud point of a mineral middle distillate fuel; and diesel fuel blends having a blend of a renewable fuel and a mineral middle distillate fuel.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for lowering a cloud point of a mineral middle distillate fuel using a renewable fuel, the method comprising:\n (a) determining a cloud point of a mineral middle distillate fuel; (b) selecting a renewable fuel having properties as follows:\n (i) a cloud point that differs by no more than 17\u00b0 C. from the cloud point of the mineral middle distillate fuel; \n (ii) an amount of n-paraffins sufficient to provide a diesel fuel blend containing 10-25 wt % n-paraffins in a C14-C20 range when the renewable fuel is blended with the mineral middle distillate fuel; and \n (iii) an amount of isoparaffins in the C14-C20 range sufficient to provide a diesel fuel blend having a ratio of a sum of wt % amounts of isoparaffins in the C14-C20 range to a sum of wt % amounts of n-paraffins in the C14-C20 range of from 1.1 to 2.2 when the renewable fuel is blended with the mineral middle distillate fuel; and \n (c) blending the renewable fuel with the mineral middle distillate fuel in a ratio of amounts by volume of from 10:90 to 90:10 to form a diesel fuel blend having a cloud point that is lower than the cloud point of the mineral middle distillate fuel.
