High performance alternative waste oil blend diesel fuel

[daftmo1]

Thanx for your response. I will be implementing your formula for performance blending..man you are a book!..now would you have knowledge on creating & or sharing on creation of synthetic 100 and just curious of the Btu's of the 65/35 blend--thanx again!

@daftmo1 The BTUs of a gasoline/waste oil blend diesel fuel are significantly more than diesel fuel until one gets to 50% gasoline to waste oil. At that point the BTUs are the same as diesel fuel. However, increasing gasoline over 15% in a waste oil blend one gains power and emissions reduction. I have yet to find the top end on gasoline content to waste oil. So far I have run 45% gasoline, and only found more power than I had at 30% which had more power than 20%, etc.

Where do you get the viscocity meter?

@pacificcloud I purchased a VI-3320 Gardco #0 Mini Ford Dip Viscosity Cup for $185.00 from Gardco. I am very pleased with the product.

Hello Jhananda.

In my car Passat 1.6 diesel i using only VMO + RUG mix. I started with 20% RUG, but for a long time I use 30-33% RUG depending on the density of oil. Currently it is winter in my country and temperatures is between -5 to -15 Celsius, so I use heating oil in my car. In the March when temperatures are about 5-6 Celsius I will move back again to the consumption of VMO + RUG mix.

@alexa795

WMO (65 -70%) + RUG (35- 30%)

[Jhananda]

@alexa795 Last year the temperatures here dropped to 0F (-18c) for two days. At that time my diesel engine started up just fine without the use of a block heater on the first crank on a blend of WVO 8% to gasoline (petrol) at 20%. So, a waste oil blend containing 30-35% gasoline should start and run just fine below -20C, and if the temperatures there drop to -30C, then you could try up to 50% gasoline in your blends, should run just fine.

@Jhananda

I use WMO, not WVO. WMO is much thicker than the VMO at temperatures below zero. I tried a sample of 150 ml of WMO(70%) + RUG(30%) and WVO(70%) + RUG(30). I left overnight in a freezer at a temperature of -15 Celsius. WVO + RUG mix was flowing, and WMO + RUG mix was not fluent like WVO mix. So I decided that while the temperature in March does not exceed 5-6 Celsius, i use heating oil as fuel.

[Jhananda]

@alexa795 Thanks for the report. I suppose WMO varies depending upon the grade. If you had access to WATF, or a light weight WMO, then perhaps it would remain liquid at low temps when blended with gasoline for winter use. Otherwise Home Heating OIL (HHO) is diesel fuel, as I understand it.

[alexa795]

@Jhananda

Yes, of course, that heating oil (HHO) is diesel fuel, but the difference in price between diesel fuel and heating oil is the most important. Price of diesel fuel is 1.25 euro and for heatin oil is 0.92 euro.

btw; Somehow I'm thinking a two-tank setup; one for power & one for economy.

[Jhananda]

@Begbucks I have three fuel tanks, so I agree

[Jhananda]

@Begbucks sound like a good idea to me. I might try it myself
