But I live in the desert, and today it's going to be a hellish 117 high, plus the heat from the motor. Isn't that enough? Couldn't I just put a gallon or two of SVO in my tank without any worries?
Would it be THAT horrible if the tank was almost empty and I put about two gallons of SVO in the tank and run it?

I did it one time just to try it, I bought 3 cubes (when they were cheap) of clear fry oil at sam's club...mixed it with about 10% Regular gas....then dumped it in....so about 13-14 gallons worth, plus 2-3 gallons of diesel that were still in the tank....it ran smooth and normal.....however, mileage dropped, and power output was lower. I then went back to diesel. Pointless in my opinion.
