Re: Another convert and NO HEAT!

Okay so the reason you can't rev good past 2500 is the WVO is too thick if it is not heated. Your fuel system and oil system can't reach the right pressures to move, inject and atomize the WVO properly. I think you are running on borrowed time if you don't get a heater on your truck for the oil!

The VO does not harm the injectors per say. But if it is not heated and burning cleanly then it will choke up the injector nozzles. Also it could choke up the pistons and rings. But I suppose if the injectors are run long enough on a VO that is not the correct viscosity then they might become damaged over time from added stress.

It is cool you gave this a try but I don't think it is a good thing to do for long term. If you are not going to add a heater to the WVO then go back to a 50/50 blend. I would hate for you to much up your injectors, oil system, fuel system or engine.
