Dana, On the following link, there's a paper published by the Sask. Canola Devleopment Commission about veggie-additives. The researcher is noticeably conservative with his percentages, however, it's a good read nonetheless.
http://www.scdc.sk.ca/html/rese_fs.html No matter where you are, you're safe to run 5% at all times. I run 5% here in Edmonton, AB (dang cold!) , at temps above -20degC without incident. In the warmer months, depending on your vehicle, you can run much higher blends. I have successfully run 100 percent SVO at 15degC and above through my regular fuel tank, however, my vehcle was arguably designed to suck jello through the injectors (1984 merc 300d) - furthermore, this was on store-bought, picture perfect canola oil. Research your vehicle and your injector pump THOROUGHLY do decrease to determine how suitable they are. With respects to the type of oil - stay away from soy for this application, just to be safe. I recommend canola oil. The first time I ran an SVO blend, I couldn't believe how quiet the motor became during idle - it was spooky. Should you decide to get serious about running SVO all the time, check out: www.plantdrive.com (neoteric's new sie) and then contact Ed Beggs (via the site).
