Depends where you live. I use quality foods. Lots of people use bookers or cashco places like that. Once you are a full member the forum is a much easier place to navigate around and search for topics ect :thumb2

The cheapest place to get Veg oil is probably a wholesaler. I get 20ltr of KTC oil for £15.49 at Makro.
You can mix any ratio you like with dino diesel to help reduce the viscosity, if you intend to blend it with petrol the amount can vary between 5-20%, so worth experimenting. The petrol again reduces the viscosity of the oil and makes it easier to start.
Adding a cetane booster to your oil is recommended by the guys at vegetableoildiesel you could try 2-ehn cetane booster from Trinity. A little of that goes a long way.

In the summer I run 90/10 Wvo/petrol, in the winter about 70//30 WVO/dino
However, I had to replace engine few months ago - don't know what was the reason, hopefully nothing to do with WVO

the fuel cap is vented. should not vacuum.

I rekon personally that 90/10 veg/ petrol is a bit thick. I don't like using more than 10% petrol unless adding some cheap 2 stroke oil (pump and injector lube).

my fav combo is 75/15/10 veg/derv/petrol. but each to their own... and what works for you.
