Check this web site out its called dieselsecrets.com just add this stuff to filtered waste veggie oil and put it into the tank. I have not used it personally but I have friend who runs it through his 05 powerstroke and loves it. After its all said and done it costs about 46 cents per gallon to produce if the oil is free and not including costs to go get the oil. But even adding that cost its a lot better than 4 or 5 dollars per gallon. Please let me know how it works out if you try it

From the fryer to the fuel tank is a good book on making biodiesel also. Biodiesel will run in all diesels where filtered WVO may not.

The name Stampy was given to my first CJ5 by a friend after I got "stuck " in a thicket of small trees on my property . I wasn't stuck for long and the trees did not survive the ordeal.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but hollow points expand on impact.
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. I can't believe it would do what it says. If so, biodiesel makers would be doing it and saving themselves a lot of money.

ok I will do some research on making the real bio diesel, didnt mean to sound like an idiot I just wanted to share in a possible money saver. I have heard that bio diesel is corrosive and will eat rubber O rings, seals, and rubber fuel lines within the fuel system if this is true how is this problem fixed and how much will it cost to convert a deuce to run bio and the setup to make the stuff. thank you for your help.
I just filter the WVO and blend it with some diesel- 183,000 miles on my '04 dodge 2500.

Depends on how viscous the WVO is. I used to do fuel testing in the Navy, I have the equipment.
Here's a way to do it- Get the finest mesh strainer you can get from a paint store. Or, you can use coffee filters, you just have to be quick with the stopwatch, as you will only get a cup or two in a coffee filter.
Pour a set amount of diesel in it, and time how long it takes to flow through. Do this again with the WVO in another new strainer
Say it takes 35 seconds to flow a quart of WVO- but 15 seconds to flow the quart of diesel. The difference is 20 seconds- double that number and blend it 40% diesel and 60% WVO. This is a quick and dirty method I've used on the go when I don't have my equipment handy. Again, it works for me. I only do it this way on a rare occasion though. Make sure the diesel and WVO are the same temp and already clean and filtered.
Don't forget that WVO will gel in cold temps, clogging up your fuel lines and filters. Thats why people convert it to biodiesel which has a lower gel point.
