THANKS for all the input. GREAT STUFF!
Please don't put gasoline in your engine.
Those who do will need to seriously blend the oil and the gas together before introducing this into the tank. You don't want the engine to get a bit of oil and then a bit of gas. And the two don't like each other and don't blend that easily. Diesel and oil are better and there is almost no blending needed. I always do to be safe, 5 gallon bucket, oil and diesel and one of those beverage mixers (i own a bar and have a 1 hp blender-great tool) and then add to the tank with the rest of the oil.
Biodiesel in the winter for me. Too #@&%$ cold here to use any real amount of WVO. I have a friend who picks up the oil once a week and leaves me a bit of bio in trade. I add that to the tank to at least help lube up the engine in the cold winter.
