I have been blending WVO with RUG at 80% WVO to 20% RUG. I have read so many post on other forums to make my head spin. For as many that I read for it I read just as many against it. So since I am running a 1984 M1009 I thought I would come to a forum where there is others with the same vehicle. Now my blazer has been running just fine so far on this with no mods, however I know this won't last as I live here in Vermont where temps drop to well below zero in the winter. I plan to add a heated fuel filter and heated injector lines as well as a a heated fuel line from the tank to the filter. What experience do you have in this? Am I asking for problems? Can WVO become the same thickness of diesel if thinned out both chemically and with heat?
There are chemicals that will lower the viscosity of VO/WVO, I'm told, but don't think it's working much below 20°F and it probably isn't cost effective.
Your best bet is to have a dual tank system, actually dual everything all the way to the IP, since "flushing" still won't clean your filters (back flushing, perhaps, but that's a little difficult).

You will save lots of headaches if you run diesel in the winter. I ran WVO twice (although in my deuce not 1009) and it was a pita. Whats RUG? (Theres a carpet muncher joke in there somewhere!)

RUG = Regular unleaded gas if I remember corretly from my WVO days.
I made a batch of 70% wvo 20% wmo and 10% rug ... It ran good(Ihave a fuel heater) but had hard start. so I ran it down to a half tank and filled it it up with Diesel bc it is really cold 20-36 lately 12-6-10 Im starting my M1009 with a blast of either. i hope I havent created an either baby, but One squirt in the breather hole and it fires right up. As cold as it is I think im going to run my tank down and fill her up with streight diesel till it warms up.
I would NOT put gasoline in a CUCV... in any concentration.

I will say I run a grease car kit in a 95 Ford powerstroke, they make heat witch is what ya need running veg, I have been running veg for four years with ZERO problems. I have not called greasecar about running a veg kit on a CUCV It might work provided you run a hotter T-stat and put some cardboard in front of the radiator idk I think ill just keep running RED diesel in the cucv's
