New Veggie Oil?
 

I was just given several gallons of veggie oil. (Someone saw too many youtube videos of exploding fried turkeys)
I usually run two thirds diesel, one third JetA in the winter and was wondering if putting a splash or two into the tank would hurt?
BTW, I've run quite a bit of biodiesel thru it in the summer months.

it depends on your climate,I was surprised two winters ago with zero temps,I was running 4 gals to 18 gals diesel.My fuel gelled because of the veg,I had to add 2 gals. gasoline to melt the oil

I'm in Atlanta and it was 22F this AM!
I was only thinking of maybe a quart to every 10 or so gallons. Just enough to give it that nice french fry smell;)

If you only have a few gallons, I suggest using it as a fuel treatment.

Add 16oz per full tank of diesel, for lubricity.
Your injection pump will love it.

In Atlanta Georgia, I suggest you stop using vegetable oil at 38° F.
Unless you are educated - fully dedicated to running alternative fuel, system waxing is an "unpredictable ambient temperature" (tank cleanliness) major PIA.

If this is your daily driver = critical vehicle = don't experiment "except in SUMMER"...

.

Ha!
unpredictable temperatures exactly describes Atlanta
The station that sells biodiesel here has 20 and 50 blends for winter use
I sometimes get almost a full tank of Jet-A (I mix a quart of 2-stroke oil in with it) Could I do the same with the veggie?

You can use the veggie instead of the two cycle oil, for lubrication in the fuel

I know I'm a couple days late on this one, but I had to ask... What kind of oil is it? Is it "hydrogenated"?

The hydrogenation (animal fats added) is what would cause the oil to gel in cold temps. Also thats what causes coking on your injectors and lines. Basically the vegans are right on one aspect. Consuming animal fats is bad.

If its something simple, like 100% Peanut Oil (typically used for frying turkeys), you can likely dump it right in the tank and go. To be sure, as I dont know what brand you've got, I'd take a sample and freeze it to see what happens. Although its supposed to be warmer this week, you could likely get away with just running it.

I used to run 100% virgin soybean oil in my old blue monster (retired in my sig). Even down to 12*F in Tallahassee, it ran fine, flowed just like diesel. Freaked out the old folks at Sams Club when I'd pull into the loading zone lane under the cover, jam a large funnel in the filler neck, and dump 4-5 cubies right in off the flatbed cart while she was idling, purring like a spoiled kitten. If prices ever dropped again where it was worthwhile to do that over the cost of diesel, I'd do it again in a heartbeat in my 85. Currently, as prices go around here, the breakeven point is $4.68/gl.

Cheers!

It's unused peanut oil.
I've already poured a quart of it in a full tank of kerosene.
Let you know how it goes.
