Are you saying you ran used or new vegetable oil.
What ratio? Supposedly a standard diesel engine will
run on straight vegetable oil as long as the engine is
up to operating temp and the oil is heated, right?
Either way, how would one filter old oil clean enough
to mix in with regular diesel?
I made a small batch of biodiesel in a 2 gal. glass
jar about two years ago. It is still sitting on a
shelf in the garage. I decided I wasn't interested in
going through the work to make it on a large scale.
But, if I could run straight vegetable oil diluted in
diesel (without any engine mods.) there wouldn't be
any messing around making it into biodiesel. Then
we'd have something! Of course what better engine is
there to experiment with than a multifuel.
