What have you determined one should blend Gasoline with Vegetable oil? What is the mix and does it vary from batch to batch. How do you determine the mix per batch of fuel? Can one add acetone to the mix? Is that a good idea? say 2 oz per gallon?
@2xtream The basic formula that I recommend is 20% gasoline to 80 vegetable oil as a year round blend. Variations are relevant to viscosity of the source oil and night time temperature. Basically, the thicker the oil, or the colder the night time temperatures, the more solvent, such as gasoline, one must add to avoid mechanical failures due to too viscous fuel. Yes, acetone can be added, but does not seem to be necessary, unless one can find it at a lower price than gasoline
The sad part is you hold yourself out as to be some sort of expert and give the impression you know what your doing and other people will think that using very requires the butchering of your vehicle and unessacary complication that you have here.
@glumpy10 considering that I have a 40-year technical career, that includes working as a researcher at Chevron Research, where I engaged in fuels research, as well as a stint in automotive R&D elsewhere, and I have been studying various forums of burning vegetable oil in a diesel engine for 5 years, then I believe it is reasonable to consider me an expert in bio-fuels for diesel engines.
