No heat is killer

Make sure you heat that oil! If you don't you'll end up ruining your engine.

Not necessarily, if its warm out (over 50degs or so) and you mix the clean/filtered wvo with some gas and cetane booster etc etc....it will run it perfectly fine right out of the tank....I did it today, it was fun! Consumption of the stuff is pretty quick though....I filled a juice bottle about 90% full (probably 2/5 of a gallon, and took off, drove 9 miles and came back, bottle had only a few oz left! It was slurping the stuff up! I did do some major revving and acceleration, but wow....it eats it up......from full bottle to near empty in 9 miles on just under half a gallon....that'd be roughly 19-21 mpg or so in heavy stop and go.

I did notice that once back on diesel, while noisier it has quite a bit more pep too....really takes off.....I've decided that when diesel is 2.95 and up I will use the Sams fry oil.....till then I'll be on dino....I like the power/better mpgs....

i tried running a bottle of power service diesel kleen grey straight like pawoSD did with the vo. The engine idle pace felt and sounded faster im assuming it had to do with the cetane boost. Also the car ran like a champ! i was flying around the streets in the car! good thing no cops were around

My friend had left the bottle at my house when he took his 652K miles SD from my house So it was a free ride!! and i hope that cleaned the injectors!
