I thought all you had to go was get used veggie oil, filter it and pour in the tank??

From shat I understand if you use straight veggie oil you need 2 tanks. One for the veggie oil and one for dino diesel. Dino to start the engine then switch over to veggie, then switch back to dino prior to shutting down the engine. .

The alternative is running Bio which is processed veggie oil and or blended with dino diesel. B100 --b20 --B10-- etc

Okay, i would understand that to be the case running 100% veggie. What i think would be useful to most would be having one regular fuel tank and adding 5-10 gallons of veggie oil. Having a 55 gallon drum, Getting it free from food joints and running it through two filters into that drum. After the fuel station visit, pump veggie into the tank. I would assume no problem with starting since 10 gallons would make a 15-20 percent blend.

I think I read something about the bio not being able to take heat away from the VP44's as well as dino diesel. However with P pumps that may not be the case as I understand the P pumps are oil cooled.
