Dan, you are the man , that is so awesome, I love it! wish I could do something like that, but with 1.3 acres and zoning of 100sq' for a garden, it's just not happening, I'm supprised I'm getting away with what I'm doing with my 8X8 veggy shed, keep up the good work, more farmers should be doing that, happy veggin'

StrikerDiesel, checked out your website, I am impressed. I too wish I could do that but as long as I can find WVO it seems easier. You mentioned you blend with RUG, what percentage?
Rusty

I like the more power aspect! harrr-arrrr-arrr

Down here in Panama I was able to get my Nissan Frontier to go 50% diesel- 50% blend. The blend I have settled on so far is 75%wvo, 25% kerosene, 5% rug (no known source for stale rug), & 2 oz of acetone to ever 10 gallons of blend (Thanks, Veggedout!). Not sure what the acetone actually does, but my Nissan is running pretty well with it. Unfortunately cetane boost is a little pricey and have yet to find a way to get Amesoil products at a good price. No one knows if turpentine exists here.

My 2002 Hyundai Galloper with a 2.5 liter loves the stuf and I'm running 100% blend in it.

Happy New year to all

billbaio, I think you have a 105% mix? also I olny use 1 oz acetone to 10 gal, but I think john uses 2 oz and some use even more, as long as it works for you, that's great , and one more thing, AMSOIL doesn't have an E in it, but that could be a type-o, anyway glad your veggin' out, isn't it great? happy new year also and happy veggin'

wvobenz, how long have you been running the blend in your 6.2 van? I would guess a 50/50 blend is getting pretty close to diesel, especially if you added some RUG. Any starting problems or anything?
Ga diesel guy, I thought close to 90% was pretty high, especially this time of year, do you go that high in the warmer months, and if so how does it work?

I started using the 50/50 mix when I drove the van on a 500+ mile trip. The blend worked wonderful for the trip, but when I got back the weather got cold. I tried to start the van after it had sat for a week, and it would not start. I found out that the mix had seperated, and it was trying to start on VO. I installed a good fuel pump (pusher) before the primary filter, and it starts now. I think the blend would work fine during the summer, but I am going to run just Dino until it gets warmer. I would like to try a blend of VO & RUG, but I am afraid it might seperate as well. Does anyone know which fuel has the least chance of seperating from VO- RUG or Dino?

What's referred to here as fuel separation, is most likely the high melt point trans-fats and hydrogenated oil dropping out of solution as they solidify. It's a common problem when these fats are not separated out with the processing of the oil. The VO fuel that does not separate has the fats and h-oil removed and is mixed with #1 winter diesel not #2 summer diesel.

The oil I used was new NON Hydrogenated Soybean oil. I am going to try an experiment with mixing different blends, and placing them outside overnight. Maybe I can get a better idea of what will settle or not.

ok folks
Im having my first prob. in my 06 cummings
lost power down to 50mph for about three miles. engine rpm would rev but i could not get any more speed. engine light came on and is still on but power has been restored and running great. i just had fuel filter replaced last week with the oil change. any ideas? having truck looked at this friday at the dealership

my blend is 20 filtered wvo 2 gal kero, i gal rug and 12 oz diesel clean with cetain boost, fuel tank is filled with 15 gal mix and 17 gal dino.

Don't tell dealership of the blend. They will blame the blend w/out seriously trying to diagnose.

Sounds to me like you got an air leak. Maybe one of the lines on the fuel filter that just got installed? Maybe they left off the ruber that goes on the fuel filter so it is sucking air now??

PS- Start a new thread since this is way off topic now.

Nothing, it is off-spec new oil.

Whatever is available around here (So. Cal.). I think it is #2.

It's been reported that some diesel is saturated with so much paraffin wax to increase the BTUs, that the veg-oil can't fully dissolve, and with even a slight drop in temperature separation occurs. Diluting the oil with stale gasoline, stove oil, jet fuel, or kerosene, before mixing it with diesel, usually solves the separation problem.

Hey guys. I'm hoping someone out there can give me a few pointers on a reasonably safe blend for a Ford 6.0 that won't require any heaters. Veggeout's blend looks interesting. Any opinions on how it might work for me. I'm new to all this so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I'm trying to learn all I can. Thanks
