Gelling point?

yes it does depend on the feedstock. soy b99 is around 35 degs F and it will start to cloud a little sooner than that. there are some additives you can use to lower the temp but i have never had to use any. you can always test it for yourself and put some bio in a jar with a termometer in your freezer and see when it gels.

I have never gelled but i would imagine you would be temperarly stranded utill you changed you fuel filters and found a way to heat you tank. I think you will be fine running you truck on biodiesel on the way to Tahoe and then filling up of diesel when your tank gets low. If you are worried or it gets colder buy some anti gel additives and "double dose".
Feedstock is what kind of oil the bio is made from. There are many feedstocks and they all have differnt gel points.

Here is an in depth study of different types of biodiesel feedstock at different temps
