Not if you buy it from a wholesaler for $1.00-$1.85 per gal. All you'd need is a hazmat endorsement on your cdl and you're cool to transport it. (I've got mine, so we're set for over here)
Yes I did, I guess you didn't get my pm... Anyhow, thanks so much!
( I think the site was having problems around the time I sent it....)
Hope you're not too upset about it. What in particular?
I've already asked if Mag can delete my post anyhow...
Interesting.(EDIT - Since it's a solvent) I'm a bit worried about breaking down the lubricating properties of the fuel with that. I wonder if anyone has tried it in fuel oil? I do know that there is a little bit of an oily property that needs to remain to help out the injectors, pump, and the...
I'm thinking that our mix with the spirits increased the ability of the oil to burn. I'm not sure. I'm a people doctor, not a chemical engineer. I've been accused of being the turbo doctor too. That's about it.
Look, it works. I promise you that. It meets our needs, and if I knew this was...
Ok, I should post our "rules" for this mix -
1. As inexpensive as possible
2. Least amount of "fiddling"
3. No refining or complicated processes
4. No huge "mods" to our trucks required, no diesel startup or stops
5. Glow-plug powered heater system is ok (only runs at 160 degrees, so it...
Good data.
All I know is it works. I was VERY suprised. I'll post up more as I get more involved with this because I know the three or four local guys here are seriously getting into it.
Foaming, not sure. Maybe we can find an anti-foam agent, but I'm looking for a simple and cheap...
Well, I read it. There's not much considering it was started in 2002.
Good to know my friend isn't insane. Somebody has already found this to work too.
I questioned the sitting too, but it seemed to work either way. One good thing about the wait time is that the funky bits missed during...
Oh - and for a three-poster in a row...
We found an electric fuel pump that seemed to "suck" well enough to move the oil ok. I think I'll get one of those high-flow jobbers if I can find a filtering media that can handle it.
Jim, I hate to say it... but TOLD YA SO... I knew from Andrea that they paid the haulers to take it, so we wouldn't have much problem getting it. The problem is the filtering. We used a coffee filter setup inside of a 4" PVC pipe with a 6" drain pipe connection to hold the filter elements. I'm...
I'll tell you one thing - we made two batches. One was from a fast food joint and the other was from a regular resturant.
You can certainly tell from the exhaust where the fuel came from! French Fries on one batch and some sort of other stuff with the other place.
Here's my formula. Didn't need ANY heating at all to run GREAT!
25 Gal WVO

1 Gal EDIT: Naptha
Filter and let sit for a day or two.
Thined the WVO right out, and ran like a champ. Straight to the engine, no diesel at all in the system for the test. (drained filters and tank and ran lines...
