Heating is the key to successful use of the bio/veggie oil. About the crane, yes, my truck was an M49A2C fuel tanker when I got it from the USMC more than ten years ago.

Resowc, interesting site, lots of goodies (oregon fuel injection). http://www.o-f-i.com/ My homebrewed bio jells up long before 18°F and I wouldn't think of using it below freezing without heating it..... Need to put some store bought stuff in the fridge and see what happens....

Interesting results Ken. I'm running on unwashed bio in my deuce and notice virtually no difference in MPG's, perhaps a drop from 9-10 to 8-9 during my most recent 2,000 mile trip, with more than half the distance covered on bio/veggie oil. I have also noticed a slightly lower EGT and boost...

James, no plans for trying to recover the methanol. Not enough volume to warrant the expense IMHO. It may be an advantage to have some in the biodiesel, it keeps glycerin in suspension and takes care of any water that may be present in the fuel. Yes, an alcohol in diesel fuel changes the flash...

Thanks for the update Ken! I use "unwashed" biodiesel, so it also contains a fair amount of methanol, about 3%, from what I read. That may make a difference in power/mpg.

Please, be more specific, Ken, there is more oxygen available with bio and you should actually see a power increase. Higher lubricity too. With the multi, there is virtually no difference in power despite the decrease in the fuel delivery (courtesy of the FDC) and the EGT is slightly cooler. We...
