Ran about a 1/4 tank with a mixture of 10% pure (store bought) veggi oil
and diesel. There was no noticable difference in power, but I had no good
way to actually measure the performance. The mix would not be good in the
winter.
I have collected the ingredients for about 10 gallons of biodiesel so that's
next. First step is to get the water and junk out of the oil, which comes
from a local pizza/fast food place. The methanol is actually "air brake
antifreeze" from NAPA.
