Best SVO for warm place?
I have been using just one fill-up every two weeks and thinking about going with SVO (just because I can). I have tried five gallons of corn oil on an empty tank and had no problems.
Wondering if there is anything I should change on the car and which is the "best" SVO? With so little fuel use price is not a problem for turning green.

Are you running Straight VO in a single tank, with no modifications?

Yes I did without a problem. Temps around here are in the 70's and 80's year round.
Did I do something wrong?

No nothing wrong really, i run mixes of wvo and gas sometimes and the car will run fine. of course until i get a filter clog! austin85 has been running on wvo/gas himself with no problems.

Thanks Robert,
Your information just saved me a lot of pain. After using the SVO on the benz I was going to try it in my Bermuda 40 (My boat friends would help me after they stopped laughing). I will check first before "what if" strikes again.
