There are two alternatives out there.
Bio-diesel, which requires methyl alcohol and lye to process Vegetable oil into
the finished product. The other is Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO)or a mix of that
and a thinning agent, usually diesel or kerosene. SVO "Can" be used straight;
but, will eventually clog on cold days. Best used at a 20% mix according to
various sources. For more info, check out: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#1mixing

-----Original Message-----My son-in-law, a restrautuer which lots of waste deep-fry oil, has set-up his own bio-diesel refining process in his workshop. I bring this up because used peanut oil is not repeat, not bio-diesel, as such. The waste cooking oil has to be processed: treated with, I think, alcohol. Then, through some kind of decanting (or filtering, or whatever) the usable bio-diesel fuel is recovered.

So, the point is, I don't think you want to put "raw" peanut oil in your engine.

Subject: Re: catalina27-talk:Bio-DieselBio is a fine fuel, but the problem is it can dissolve older hoses / seals / gaskets. It also tends to "clean out" your fuel system, and everything it "cleans out" ends up in your filters, pump, and injectors. Considering the amount of fuel most of us burn, I don't feel it is worth the risk or additional cost.Tommy,Burnin dinos.In a message dated 9/25/2006 12:44:10 P.M.
