Chemist or not it is possible that no one has tried this combination before in these ratios as fuel for a internal combustion engine. How this particular combination reacts in a cumbustion chamber may be a complete unknown as well. Considering how most of us seem to be concerned about our evaporating natural resources, fuel costs, mpg, etc. that biodiesel and WVO are discussed here regularly I am suprised at the backlash to a idea. Oh well, go back to your "head in the sand, I'm gonna drive old MB's forever (not possible since they will all eventually rust away), NANANANANA! I'm not listening", worlds. I'm gonna try it in the truck and will report findings here. RT
This "half-empty" read the link, and noticed they are talking about GASSERS. Last I heard, diesel engines don't exactly have carburetors or fuel vaporization, or HC emissions issues.
