I'm one of those people that thinks everyone thats trying to sell me something online is scamming me. I didn't get much of a chance to look over there site, but the little "real customer videos" were definatly fake, or actors. Bad ones. If it was truly a super fuel substitute, more people would know about it.

If you can find something on there that is detailed about how it works let me know, i'm alwase looking for another crazy fuel to try. I'll try to get a good look at there site later when i have some time.

yeah bro that video of testamonials is a bit sketchy I did some more research and they want you to thin out the WVO with gasoline or kerosene and then use that I cant imagine thats good for your engine. Snake oil for sure

The site did explain a little better how it works, but nothing more than buy these jugs, pour it in your oil, and look how rich you become.
I would be interested to see if it really worked for someone. Their "Customer Testimonials" are really corny and makes me think they are all fake.

I would be willing to try a little bit of it if i had a WVO setup already, but i don't see it as something to that would convince me to try WVO, which is what they are trying to do.

theres a few more on youtube that I watched theres a video of a guy mixing it and making it with Kerosene and addatives and a filtration system I think i might give it a shot with some clean veg oil from costco and the addatives so I dont have to spend the coin on the filtration setup Ill let everyone know how it goes

Dieselsecret is a scam. They want you to mix some crap in with vegetable oil to thin it out some. It will run, probably very well, in your motor. For a while. How long? Probably not real long without killing your IP. Beyond that, anytime cold VO hits your injectors it doesn't burn completely, causing high amounts of carbon in the cylinder and premature engine wear. Don't give dieselsecret any money, if you really want to just do some mixing go for it. You can just pour the stuff in raw and you'll be ok for a while.

The only way to run vegetable oil without causing premature engine wear is to have a quality, two tank system. Heat the engine up on diesel, and then switch to VO. It needs to be 160 degrees to match the viscocity of diesel.
