Used cooking oil

Hi All

I thought I would give you an update on my HMMWV that has been running on
used cooking oil.

I'm currently running on a 80%~20% mixed (diesle/cooking oil). I've started
it up a several times now where temp was between 35~40'. The engine
struggles a bit for the first 30 seconds then starts to run normally. I
notice if I give it a little gas I can clear it up sooner.

Only on one occasion did I have trouble. It started okay then began to
sputter black smoke, then white smoke then died. It took a few starts then
it was running fine. I assumed the trouble was due to a little clog
somewhere from a cold lump of oil.

The only othere thing I've notice it that it leaves a little bit more soot
in the exhaust pipes. Some time it will blow a fair amount of soot out on
start up.

Otherwise, everything else is fine.

Darrell
