Had the feeling that might be the case with WVO, i know you can make adequate filters out of J-cloths etc, was actually thinking it would be the electric bill for heating the stuff that would kill me lol. Hadn't thought about it having a lower calorific value, good point. Hmmmm, might experiment with a batch just to know for sure, we'll see.
Was aware the economy would drop a bit, about 7-8% if i've worked it out right, that doesn't account for the extra pumping losses due to the higher viscosity, but i cba with working that out for the sake of another 0.XX% lol.
Has anyone done experiments on what's best to mix with it? I figured 30/70 diesel/veg would thin it down enough to make life easier on cold mornings, was wondering if cetane booster might be worth a trial. And how's best to mix it, veg in first then diesel on top i would have thought..?
