Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Me and some friends want to make biodiesel. We have a free and unlimited source of used veggie oil. Our plan was to clean and remove moisture from the oil with filters and mix with #2 diesel and either Power Service or Amsoil additive. We are shooting for a mixture of 20% veggie/80% #2. This mixture was chosen to comphensate for flow characteristics, use at all but the coldest temperatures, and component/filter reliability.
We have performed experiments with mixing at this ratio and have seen no seperation of the two fluids with temps to 38 degrees F (lowest temp tried so far).
The trucks we anticipate using the fuel in include 2G 24valve motors, 3G motors, and 7. 3 Ford motors.
Is what we plan to make actually Biodiesel?
Has anyone else tried a blend like this?
Can anyone see any ill effects (other than to OPEC and oil company execs) to what we are planning and the types of motors we intend to use it in?
From the looks of things, we are all going down with oil prices going so high, but I don't want to go down without a fight.
