how much was the vegetable oil per gallon?

@DAB0690

About 4 or 5 bucks a gallon. Since this was a test run, I wanted to use new veggie oil to turn to biodiesel to make sure that there was nothing that would botch the conversion process and make a bad batch.

Where I live, that's a big no no, it dips below 60 here on a regular basis between the spring and summer and fall and winter. If I don't make sure that it's heated, and then switch back to biodiesel or dino diesel before I shut it off, I take the change of coking the injectors, and that's a costly mistake.

That is the reason that I use biodiesel and not straight veggie oil

@Pantherman1979 I think he is saying with older diesels such as your jetta it will run on straight veggie oil instead of biodiesel without modifications.
