Been doing some reading on the subject. The Brits seem to run a 40% mix with no problems.

I took a 1.5 gallon glass jar an mixed a gallon of used canola oil with 1/2 gal of winter diesel then let it set for 24 hours with zero sign of the fluids separating. I plan to run 5 gallons of used canola oil to 12 gallons of diesel in the front tank. Was planning to only run the canola mix till motor is good a hot like while on the highway.

Added a gallon of used canola to about 10 gallons of diesel when I switched to the mix tank motor madeless noise but seemed to run fine. Will keep the group informed of my findings

Figure running a mix is a lot simpler than trying to run 100% canola.

Any thoughts?
