blondie has a grease tank. she runs better on straight wvo than on any petro product. like others have said above better lubricity of the pump and engine parts. on the wvo thye car also has more power to pass on the hwy.

you do not have to convert to run bio d. bio d goes into the main tank. if you live in a cold weather climate like i do then you must have a 2nd system for the grease. as little a blend of 2% bio d in the tank will make an immediate aural difference. a qt of oil from sams or wally world will do the same.

markm if you do decide to run bio d first look at the age of the rubber fuel lines under the engine. bio d will soften them. if they ar getting old replace them. then check the return lines. if they are black they are prolly seeping diesel and need replacing. after doing that you are free to run bio d safely. be sure to carry spare primary filters as the bio d has a cleansing effect on the tank. your car will thank you.
