Burning Waste Veggie Oil Information

HI all,

Dodn't know if you're aware that eBay now offers free guides, written by anyone about anything. I wrote a quickie on burning WVO in a diesel and gotten quite a few "yes" to the was this helpful. This got me into the top 5000 reviewers (just another icon added to the rest on my eBay NIC).

Well if you could read my guide and answer yes to "Is the guide helpful" question (if you feel it was helpful or informative that is) I just might see me reviewer rating soar. Plus you'll learn a little about burning WVO.

I find it impossible for ANY automotive manufacturer to approve an unconventional fuel such as waste vegetable oil.

There aren't any cetane specs for WVO, there's no filtration specs, water specs,,, NO manufacterer of automobiles will go out on the limb to say it's OK to burn veggie oil in their cars, EVENTHOUGH Rudolph Diesel invented the engine to run on peanut oil. HMMMM

240,

I agree with you for the simple reason that I do not want to risk my MB just to save a few dollars. Vegetable oil has less energy than petroleum stuff giving less power which is what we need.

Diesel also gives more black smoke!! Cannot wait for mine to arrive in early February.

The only time I will deviate from petrodiesel is in the summer when I use B20. That's only because the station that sells it keeps ASTM D6751 tests up to date.

Any more modifications? I know this is minor surgery for you but what is your opinion on Carlsson versus Kleemann tuning boxes?

Just pump the it into the tank and go. B20 is as high a concentration as I will ever go since it's the most you can run without a drop in power/economy and no modifications to the fuel system IF it passes the ASTM D6751 tests.

Tuning boxes? My engine is 100% mechanical so I'm far from the best one to answer that question.
