I run 70% wvo in my two tank setup.One day when temps got into the teens.I had to stop and mix in 2 gals. unleaded.I could not believe how it turned my cold thick mix into fuel like diesel.
So I've changed my mine thru experince.
You Guys an Gals,are right it does work.
Forgive me for the prejudice of blending.
Take care.

If I were to adopt this recipe I'd bring my costs down. The temp's where I live are similar to your brothers (20's F in the winter). This would allow me to skip petro diesel altogether. Sounds like a plan. My WVO processing system is basically the same as yours.

My brother and I have been running various blends in 3 diesel vehicles (2 being 5 cyl Benz's) successfully for THOUSANDS of miles! All the oil we use starts out as good quality Non-Hydrogenated oil and has been filtered and de-watered using the cold upflow settling process, so NO PHO is present in the oil to begin with.
We've had good success with blends of 20-25% RUG in the winter and 15-20% RUG in the summer. We've also blended used paint thinner in the same ratios with the same results. Although our So Cal winters are not that cold, my brother (ROLLGUY) lives in Hesperia and he experiences many nights with temps below freezing.
Since I started driving the 1983 300d the first week in December , I have been running a blend of 20-25% RUG/75-80% WVO and NEVER did the engine fail to start first time, although on the colder mornings, I did have to let it warm up a few minutes.
The only fuel related problem I've had in 3000+ miles so far is the fuel filter clogged last weekend from many years of running Petro Diesel. I believe running the RUG/WVO blend is cleaning the fuel tank of the Diesel "gook"(sp) in the bottom of the tank. I suspect I will have to change the filters sooner until the tank is completely clean.
As far as "coking" goes, I believe it can happen with cold starts using Petro Diesel as well and don't think the "problem" is any worse using WVO IMHO.......Dennis
