Re: Take your glycerine and get out!
[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure exactly how much glycerine is in a gallon of WVO, but assuming it's 10%, that would be 100 gallons of glycerine building up in a 7.3 liter engine. No wonder those engines were totaled out.

Actually, its higher. Around 20% by MASS. When you make Bio-D, you typically use about 20% methanol to replace the glycerine that is being removed. (plus or minus a few points).
Glycerine DOES BURN! It just burns at a higher temp. The fear is a cold burn will lead to the injectors going bad or ring stick, etc etc. Same fears of burning regular #2 cold.
