2) If I pour it in the tank, should I get a fuel heater?
3) What are the best ratio's of SVO to Diesel for different climates?
4) In warm climates, can it be run off SVO without problems?
5) How can I prep for the SVO?
6) Whats the reason for adding regular unleaded gas (RUG) to the SVO mix?
Someone please explain this to me, Im lost  |
1)YES/if you want to run 100% SVO
2)Only if you run a 2nd tank and want to run 100% SVO
3)I live in Western PA. I run a 50/50 mix of filtered WVO/diesel in the summer. In southern states you could probably run 50/50 year around.
4)With or without a heated 2nd tank?
5)It should be dewaterd and filtered well.
6)Good question. I am not a chemist but I think it thins out the WVO among other things.
I have an '85 300SD and in the summer I run upto 50/50 mix, WVO/Diesel fuel. I filter my oil through a pillowcase (go ahead laugh) and it is ready to run. I do not try to dewater and the oil is in cubes and straight out of the vat.
