Are you using it in a standard high pressure (100psi) oil burner? Do you mix it with fuel oil, what ratio?

Haven't done it yet. It's just something I'm considering. My burner is a standard unit, about 20 years old, so I'm thinking if I ruin it by using blend- not a real big deal. However, I definately plan on doing my homework. For the time being, my reasoning is that if I am successfully blending WVO and Diesel in my car with excellent results so far (about a month running 20-30% WVO, daily driving a 70 mile commute), I should also be able to use a similar blend in the furnace.
To get really serious about this, I should put aside the money I'm saving, say 30% of my Diesel fuel costs, and save it toward either a dual tank conversion for the car, a WVO-friendly home heating unit, or both.
