All my first trials wre unheated, 100% stock car & filters.

I started with about 25-30% and went to 50% real quick.

My current blend is 50/40/10....WVO/Diesel/RUG

WVO is filtered to 5 micron, nominal rating, at room temp after settling.

Cold starting was OK. at around 40'F-ish I would have to cycle the glow plugs a couple times and keep my foot on the "gas" after starting for just a little bit.

When cold out (south texas cold that is) the idle was sometimes a little rough...that is why I am adding HIH to help the IP go to a higher % WVO. I will also add a boost pump, mainly to help with feeding the lift pump at higher % WVO
