What happens when you put Sunfuel in a railcar and ship it halfway across the country

They aren't going to ship it in railcars.
They are going to use the same pipeline system as petroleum.
Something that cannot be done with biodiesel.
Sunfuel
Infrastructure
"As a first step SunFuel® will be offered as a diesel fuel. This SunFuel® uses the same infrastructure as conventional mineral oil fuels. It can be used as an alternative to diesel fossil fuel without having to tune the engine.
Using SunFuel® immediately provides a major contribution to reducing CO2 levels pollutant emissions (in particular particles) at the same time."
Fischer-Tropsch type diesel fuels are great.
This is what the equivelent would be......
Gem SynDiesel
Syndiesel (R) Synthetic Diesel Fuel/Additive. 63 Cetane Number, 20,300 Btu/pound, for European (MB & TDi) and other High Performance Diesel Engines and Standby Diesel Generators. Specific Sins: Eliminates SMOKE, quiets engine, sulfur free, reduces exhaust temperatures, stops detonation, quick power response - NO hesitation, pleasant 'candy' smell, no more gums, no sludge. No Oxidation - It will last for ten years in storage. Fuel stays clear and bright. Best of all the GEL POINT is -67F - perfect for standby or emergency generator fuel supply. Perfect for cold weather applications or winterizing a diesel engine powerplant.
------------------------------------------------------------
Very high 63 cetane, will not oxidize, GEL POINT is -67F !
The shelf life is 10 years.
