The single most important thing in my opinion is to get a good source/s. I get my oil from a Thai restaurant and a Sushi restaurant and they both filter without much mess. DO NOT go anyplace where they fry meats.

I have been blending and running WVO for over a year now on a one tank system. The only problems I have ever had were fungus. Since I started using biocide in every batch that problem has gone away.

DO NOT blend with diesel fuel. You will never get it to the viscosity you need. Use RUG or Kerosene.

Gotta go, I'm on my way to get 15 gallons of free fuel.

I am looking for a good supply of oil as we speak.

I think that kerosene would be better (and cheaper). What percentages do you use? 90% WVO to 10% kerosene?

Also can you then take that mixture and mix it with regular diesel?

THANKS!!
