Dieselers,
I have been putting B100 in my car at 5 gallon intervals topped of with #2 Diesel as a tonic for my car. I understand that it acts as a solvent and cleans out the whole fuel system. I do notice that when I get the B100 (before I fill up with #2) and I drive around with just the B100 that my car (90 300D 2.5) puts out dramatically less smoke (i.e. basically none or very little at wide open throttle). I do thing it seems to run quieter. I feel better about using this alternative fuel and doing my part to reduce our fossil fuel consumption (if it actually does reduce it). Here's my question: At any rate, I know that biodiesel is simply soy oil that has been "transestrified" (I am sure that is not the exact term or its spelling). What has to be done to plain old soy oil to use it in my car? Can I just buy it at CostCo/Sam's and dump it into my tank and the rate of about 1 part oil to two parts #2 diesel. Do I have to do anything else? B100 has had the water removed, correct? Do I have to do that with food grade soy oil? Donald H.
