I am trying to avoid biodiesel production as that requires chemical reactions in my garage/basement.

The motor seems to run smoother w/ wvo...why is there a need for cetane boost? Am I leaving out an important factor in my 'system'?
You can mix 50/50 in a jar and put in fridge (if the wife will let you) and see when it starts to cloud (temperature).Temperature is an important factor to consider. I loose a little power running straight veggie - it does not bother me but that's a personal preferance - once I'm up to highway speeds it's not an issue.
