Using cooking oil as fuel

[KennyV]

You can run fresh veg oil IF you preheat it (you can use the engine cooling system to do that)...

New veg oil is also pricey... I run 5% biodiesel in the winter and 20% in the summer...
The other 80 - 95% is #2 Diesel...
Bio diesel is the best injector pump lube you can buy... and you do need to add something to the (ULSD) Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel that you get at the pumps today... :smile:KennyV

Best to steer clear of Bio Diesel.............less power and 10% more fuel consumption........as for Fish an Chip oil.........give it a miss uless you know what you are doing.

cooking oil ONLY works in diesel engines and the engine HAS to be started with diesel fuel then once the engine is warmed up you can switch over to cooking oil. And yes, cooking oil has less power. But the exhaust fumes smell like french fries.

2% to 5% is perfect for winter use... 2% and up to 99% perfect for summer... Your fuel system will last forever... And I have yet to see a diesel powered mower or tractor, truck that showed any real use reduction in power (torque) running bio... But then I have only ran it in Kubota, Cummings and Perkins engines... may be different in others.... :smile:KennyV
