This is a serious environmental impact reason NOT to use SVO or WVO. BD can be run in most vehicles with no mods and can be run at reduced concentrations all-year....
Im still learning here but isn't glycerin a byproduct of the Triesterfication process (sp?) (how biodiesel is made). I thought there was very little glycerin in WVO?

Also Ive read alot of the WVO emmsion studies that can be found on the net and dont recall much; if any, mention of Acrolein.

Ive started a topic on Acrolein over at the General SVO Forum (IPOP).
