I run 50/50 for now till winter don't know what I will do come that time.Been starting fine in the mornings at 48 out so we will see.Truck runs better on it too.I think I have more power and my theory is because my chips is detimed and the WVO burns slower I think which feels like it gives me more power.

I pump half tank of diesel then fill the rest with filtered WVO.I filter down to 5 micron.

Smells like fried bread and french fries.
