Vege Oil...Fact or Myth?

[lodester]

Hello;

Just wanted to share this with you:
Exactly one month to date, I started adding a 50/50 blend of new (unused) soybean salad oil and Canola oil to my 1983 300SD diesel tank. I did not make any alterations to the car, just added the mixture to the tank.

Here's what I got:
Week 1: diesel/oil ratio = 9/1 car runs softer and shifts better, no smoke
and a bit of cooking smell, no mileage
improvement.
Week 2: diesel/oil ratio = 7/3 car runs very soft, has more power, no
smoke, shifts very quietly and improve
mileage: original: 27MPG, now: 28MPG
strong cooking smell
Week 3: diesel/oil ratio = 5/5 car runs almost like new, drastically
increased acceleration power, Engine
hums very nicely and quietly, shifting is
perfect (hard shifting completely
disappeared), no smoke, mileage improved
to 29MPG, strong cooking odor.
Week 4: diesel/oil ratio = 3/7 same as week 3

At present I am paying $3.10/gallon for clean unused oils mentioned above.
Not cheap but beats $5.10/gallon for diesel.

thanks
