RUG = Regular Unleaded Gasoline?

Is that accurate? I have an '85 300SD and I've been wondering about the WVO as fuel. I'm in Phoenix so the gelling issue might not be an issue at all. Lowest, lowest it ever gets is 35-40 f..and that's very rare. But I don't really want to go through the whole 2 tank system, heater, etc.

Can you mix WVO with regular diesel? And are there any issues with RUG and WVO? I do have access to Biodiesel out here but it's B100. Can you mix biodiesel with WVO? Unfortunately, I'm in an apartment after selling my house but at $2.75 per gallon for dinodiesel, I'm willing to look at WVO.

Any guidance would be much appreciated. I'd also hope for less smoke with WVO. Is that true?

Thanks!

Nope, both Dk Gray, Roommate's '91 350SDL w/gray interior and mine with Tan. I am sure I will be corrected on the colors

Nothing like a pair of matching W126's in the drive!
