That water in B100 will raise the cloud point?

I checked the cloud point of my new B100 when I first got the drum. 8oz in the fridge all night, and it wasnt cloudy. Freezer made it jelly......

Am I wasting my time by doing this?

I just want to try real hard to make sure that theres no water in my BD........

i think clouding is when it is going to gel...but still flows...but that may be for D#2.

Freezing it may show ice if there are slugs of water...???

Entrained water affect cloud point that I do not know...I think you need the lab test for ppm water reading.

I would think a good test is to see if it still flows at say 38-38f...say from your cold Fridge.

The recycled stuff is worse than the virgin stuff at that test.

Who are you getting the B100 from?
Do you have a tank breather on the barrel? Something like this: http://store.avlube.com/atctonmodd2.html
It will help keep the water out of your B100.
