what percentage of oil do you use?

what percentage of oil do you use?

The magic 100%veg oil but I have twin tanked the terrano so I can run the main tank on 100%veg:thumbs

 

[arcascomp]

do you get any problems if you put veg oil in and dont use the truck regular does it split?

Been using veg in mine and so far the Terrano hasn't split!

More seriously though, both diesel and petrol will mix of their own accord in veg oil - there's a chemical name for stuff that mixes without outside help but I can't remember it. :nenau Either (or both) will remain mixed with veggie when sitting in the tank, you don't even need to rock the truck or drive it like you stole it to make the stuff mix up - but it may make you feel better!:lol

I have run on 100% rape seed oil in the past, I was just concerned over the viscosity of this GM stuff at 100% as apparently it sets like lard at around 5 degrees C and we haven't seen the last of the frosty mornings yet. I often put a small amount in the fridge to see what happens, but I'm not buying 20 litres just for a cup full :lol

So I may stick to the slightly more expensive rape seed oil for a while longer :thumb2

The small amount u put in the freezer will go solid at a much higher temp then 80l of oil like I said I have been running 100%veg all winter and its not gone solid my twin tank setup won't heat what is in the tank:thumbs

bear in mind, i don't have a twin tank, or the room for one, and if your tank is inside the car it is to a large extent pretty well insulated.
