More WVO questions - Diesel Forum

jdkline · 11-05-2004, 09:51 PM

Well as some of you folks know, I'm burning a filtered WVO and diesel mix in my 6.9. I know some others have run this combo unheated and had no problems. Now what I wonder is how long you waited to switch to veggie after you start the truck on diesel, or if you just start on the blend. currently I have about 10 gallons of diesel and 7 gallons of veggie in the front tank and only diesel/biodiesel in the back one. So I guess, I'm at about 40 -45% veggie. Its gonna be 40* here tomorrow morning so I don't want to hurt the thing. Thanks!

I've started at 45 deg during the winter with a 50% blend... She stumled a little but still ran ok. I would be careful and stay somewhere around where you are now.

OK, thanks Patrick. Did you say you'll be in Gainesville this week or next? Like I say, I'd like to meet up.
