RE: [biofuel] Petrol/WVO blend
James I have not got any personal experience but there has been a fair amount of discussion at both the Infopop and the Goat Industries forums - linked from http://www.vegburner.co.uk/links.html - do a search at the forums. From what I've read it appears less petrol is required compared to diesel. Problems have been encountered running petrol/SVO blends through fuel pre-heaters, the petrol will vaporise at the temperatures SVOers normally try to achieve causing similar problems to air leaks.

There's a guy on Infopop, who goes by the handle Kugelsicher, that is running a Ford F-250 on a mixture of 80% peanut oil, 20% gasoline, and a bit of PowerService Diesel Fuel Conditioner. The only change he's made to his truck is that he looped the fuel return. Last time I looked, he was claiming 8000 miles on this mixture without any problem. He mixes his fuel in batches of 40 gallons WVO, 10 gallons gasoline, and 1 quart of PowerService. The stuff has to be mixed vigorously or it will separate, but once mixed it forms a stable mixture. I might try this as a stopgap measure until I get my 2 tank system installed, but I really don't like the way gasoline smells.
