350SD in Las Vegas on WVO - 115F - HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME!

Hi folks,

I'm running my 350SD in Las Vegas on 50/50 filtered WVO and B5 BioDiesel mixture - the summer heat here tops out around 110-115 daily with street temps above 125... I've been running straight into the tank and the Benz runs WAY smoother on the mixture than on straight diesel/biodiesel... I do add a little Cetane Boost to help clean up the injectors, but that's it. I'm planning to add a GreaseCar WVO conversion ASAP because I have one on my 2001 VW Beetle and it runs like a top on 100% heated/filtered WVO... Any thoughts/advice, especially about the rough idle?

P.S. I love these forums - TONS of great info, years of experienced MB drivers, and LOTS of very amusing characters!! Keep it up fellas!!
