I know several guys using it 100%. They filter it of course. I am running used soybean oil at about 60% mixed with diesel and sometimes gas but I am stocking up on the motor oil for the winter months to blend it as well. Back to your question, I personally would blend a little gas with it as a thinner to make it easier on your pumps, filters and injectors.

I'd go with 50/50 until you see how it handles it. Filter it well.

*I have never run WMO.

I have had good luck with 50/50 WMO/ regular gas in the winter. In the summer I use Wreckerman's Special Deuce Elixer......30%WMO/30%WVO/30%straight diesel/10% gasoline

I ran about 80% WMO and gas on the 1530 mile round trip to the GA rally and back and it ran fine.

On a side note, check with your state department of taxation and pay the road taxes on your blend. You'll only need to pay tax on the portion that is not already taxed (the WMO, not the diesel or gasoline). You will save yourself a world of hurt and heartache if you ever get pulled over and they check your tank. The state of Ohio only requires the tax of $0.28 per gallon for your "homemade" fuels.
