Ha! You guys crack me up. Light oil?!
![]() When I make a long business trip alone I'll fill that trunk tank with WVO and and put two 5 gallon containers of wvo on the front floor and two more on the back floor, passenger side. Burn off 10 gallons of WVO, refill with two of the containers and toss them in a dumpster (since that's where I got them behind the chinese place in the first place!). I just burn up the WVO on the way out, toss the containers, come home on diesel. Did 2430 miles in the last 10 days. Drove straight through from Watertown NY to Springfield OH and never used a drop of diesel... It's kind of like a long haul in a jet...you just keep trimming the weight, getting lighter and faster as you burn the fuel. Becomes an obsession but it's still fun when you blow past the thruway service areas with diesel at $2.00+/gallon! The blue bomber just rolled over 408,000 miles. All that "lite" oil must agree with it! Fred |

...duh, and the point I MEANT to make was that you could certainly run an additional fuel line and servo and just switch tanks rather than transferring fuel. Simplest way would be to cap the return to the main tank and tee the return flow back into the intake side of the injection pump. Just don't run dry and suck in some air....major league pain unless you defeat the loop while working the primer pump...no, not me, in a suit in the rain on the side of the highway.....well, not again anyway!

Well...believe what you want but biodiesel is no less "explosive" than petrodiesel. Molecules are virtually the same in both. Neither one is anywhere near as easily ignited as gasoline so the safety issue with diesel or biodiesel is not ablut an explosion during impact...more about a fire from leaking fuel after the fact.
If you try to comparativly ignite petrodiesel and biodiesel..they both nave nearly the same flash point and ignite just as eaily. But we are geting off the subject here. ![]()
