Here's another link that might help:
http://www.frybrid.com/forum/ If you look at the conversion section, someone has done a 240D. The pics and writeup are excellent. I haven't run BioD nor WVO myself. I've meet a few who have run the stuff for a few years. One has run SVO unheated for 2 years. Still, I'd consider it experimental and if you can't afford to have your engine or injector pump replaced, then I wouldn't. I think we have all seen people who do odd stuff and it works for them, but not for others. I plan to try and run some type of WVO or BioD in the future though. Tom |

Yes, as long as the weather is warm you can run varying mixtures of WVO/Diesel. Make sure the WVO is filtered very well and free of water. I have seen people run 100% WVO in the summer time and their cars run on it. I would not recommend it. The higher % of WVO, the more risks you take on damaging the IP. If you run your car in the winter (well below freezing) I would not recommend ANY amount of WVO in your tank.

im not getting in a shootin match w/you 2 but i will say this. wvo and svo in my opinion, properly filtered and heated is better than dino. its better for the ip [better lubricator] and better for OUR environment [its carbon neutral]. the cost being almost FREE isnt bad as well. Dino is a great starting fluid!!! blending wvo and dino is what i have been doing for the last year or so in 2 of my cars. the blend is 70 wvo [mostly soy]to 30 dino MY 240D RUNS QUIETER, NO CYLINDER "NAILING", AND THE IDLE IS TWICE AS SMOOTH; NO MORE ROUGH IDLE. my 98 jetta tdi only smells better. i dont notice any difference in the fuels except w/ i check my pocket for CASH. LOL

240d WVO?
So, I see that it is probably not a good idea to run any kind of mix in cold temps (below 50F) if I want the car to last and dont have money for repairs. But if the temps are warm (+50F) it is OK to run a mix of WVO and diesel. Is this assumption correct?

I would say the best answer is to go talk to people who are doing it. Go check out the Solvent Thinning section at http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/eve/forums There are a lot of people there with lots of experience. I am RichC there also. For some reason a few people make it almost impossible to discuss any kind of alternative fuel on this forum. I really would like to help you to get the information you want. So you can make the decisions you want to based on real information. But it is nearly impossible here. Thank you RichC

240d WVO?
Thanks for your help RichC. I think I will try different mixtures at different temps in small containers to see which gells and which do not this weekend, I will make my decision from there. If you find any more info it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Dan |

Glad to help Hey if you would take some pics of your containers and tell us the mix and gel points. -------- Here is more info for you Link to the links page at journey to forever bio fuels section http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library.html Link to the links page at goat industries UK http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/links.html And last but defiantly not least !!!! http://www.fillup4free.com/ More than 100 people in the US willing to let you stop by and pick up processed veggie oil for your vehicle while your out traveling. Its like a chain of gas stations that give you the fuel for free. I am a member there also. Thanks Have Fun ! RichC .

Yes, be careful of the hydrognated oils. I am haveing one heck of a time trying to process them well enough to use. No luck so far. Just big globs of goopy mess in the lab, I mean garage. Have Fun ! RichC
