General WVO Question

Post by rich brennick »

Because WVO is thicker than standard diesel fuel (hence you have to heat it to become thinner), why can't you just add kerosene to the filtered WVO to thin it out and run in your regular tank?
What am I missing? Kerosene or other thinning fuels won't mix with it or?

Thanks; been scratching my head lately about that.

vegy blends

Post by Fatmobile »

I havn't tried the vegy blends yet but check this site:
http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x?a=f ... =159605551
search through some of kugulsicher's posts.
I probably spelled that wrong. He's on here too. Search our member list for his name and if it's spelled right search his posts on the link.
He's doing something like an 85% vegy, 15% gasoline blend in his Ford truck ... with a little power service added.
