Hi,
There was a post a while back (Mike W. was it you?)
On a trip, running low on fuel (diesel) no diesel at the pump, the
person mixed some rubbing alcohol with a gallon of cheap beg oil and added
it to their VW diesel. It ran fine and got them to the next station that had
diesel fuel.
A TV show called "Mythbusters" tested whether or not you can run a
diesel car on veg oil. They did not modify the engine at all and found that
straight veg oil worked in the car they tested. The car was an old Mercedes
(will run, for a while, on just about anything). The test was run in Arizona
.... temp 100+F ..... lowered viscosity of theoil?
I was at a workshop on alternative fuels, and a man said that he used
straight veg oil in his Peugot diesel. The car had over 300,000 miles on it.
"Oooo's" and "Aaaa's" from the audience. I caught up with the guy later and
I asked him how long he had been running it on veg oil. He said "For about
a month now."
I suspect it continued to run w/o modification for another month or
two.

Hi Gustl and Ken,
If kerosene and GASOLINE is used, then what they may be doing is diluting
the vegetable oil to lower viscosity and lessen the likelihood of injector
clogging. The product itself may just be placebo. (Heck! Why didn't I think
of that? NOT!)
Best,
Chris

Hallo Ken,
Not sure but according to my wife's niece's boyfriend who uses the stuff
you put 1/2 gallon kerosene, 1/4 gallon gasoline, cetane improver and the
"secret ingredients" into wvo and then after 5 minutes you filter it 3
times, the last time being a water absorbtion filtering, and put it
directly into your tank. This is with 20 gallons of wvo. Also, I am at
my daughter's house and I may have the kerosene/gasoline ratios mixed up.
Adam, the boyfriend, says he has been using it for about a month and
everythng he told me he got straight from the website including how
dangerous it is to use methanol and how expensive it is and how less
expensive it is to use this stuff, etc., etc., etc.
Perhaps some of the Germans on the list have an inkling of what he is
talking about since it is claimed to have been used there in the immediate
post WWII time.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Happy Happy,
Gustl
