I was up to running 66% WMO (remainder diesel) in the summer, but I backed it down to 50/50 for the colder weather. I just figured if I had to go much lighter than that on the oil, it's not really worth the hassle to bring diesel home in cans and add it to my mixing/filtering rig. The gasoline would thin the oil much more efficiently, and probably make it burn a bit hotter which would be nice in the cold weather. I just wondered if anyone had done it before. I'm not sure I want to be the experimenter.
