get on grease car

If you get on grease car.com they talk about the exceptable temperatures for heated oil. They estimate that straight veggie oil need to be heated from around 115 to 140. And since we are on that topic.... why do we need to heat it in the first place? the answer is because the oil is to thick to go through your injectors and will cause coking right? So we need to find a way to thin our oil before we send it through the injectors to stop build up of junk in the combustion chamber. You can do a two tank system you can run bio diesel. why cant we run a blend? biodiesel and blending have two thing in common in that they thin the oil to go through they injectors. We can all agree that Lovecraft is a piece of junk because of the one tank system. I would not classify blending as a one tank system because I am not claiming that i can run straight veggie oil with no conversion. I am saying that thinning by blending is doing the same thing as a heater and biodiesel. it is makeing it less viscose.
