alcohol should never be used in a diesel. if I was blending fuels I would use a petroleum based solvent. Use that methanol to make biodiesel.
edit: Ohhh i thought you were blending. I just read the word lye and realized.
There is no guesswork involed in making biodiesel. You have to titrate each sample of vegetable oil and add the corresponding amount of lye and methanol (sodium methoxide). it varies from batch to batch.
