This past weekend, we took a trip to Minnesota running on about 70% vegoil. 70% was a bit much for the 50degree mornings in the Twin Cities, but it made it fine with extra glow time.
We took about 35 gallons of oil along for the trip. We purchased 32.942 gallons of diesel on the trip and drove 1596 miles which is 48.4 MPG on diesel. Adding in the 35 (estimated high) gallons of vegoil and I ran about 23.5 MPG.
Fuel cost (est vegoil at $.50/gal) was $84.70 running about $0.05/mile.
My initial cost on filters/pumps/plumbing/storage is around $110. I have 2
pumps, because I upgraded to a self-priming pump. I still have some minor
changes I'd like to make to the design. The first 2 are adding pressure guages
after the filters to monitor how clogged the filters are, and using air
pressure to transfer oil by pressurizing the barrels and pushing the oil
through the filters.
When I get a chance, I will take pictures of my setup for any curious folk.
