Soybean oil in fuel

[RBeard]

Found a supply of soybean oil at a friend's restaurant. What ratio soybean oil to Diesel is safe to run (pre-filtering is understood),What are Pro's/Con's??

It can be run straight up. The stuff is harder to pump than #2 & thickens more in the cold. Check out <greasel.com>

Is this the only one out on the market , or are there others? Is this what people are calling Bio-Diesel?

No. Greasel is using straight veggie oil or SVO. Bio diesel has the glycerin removed.

I've bought Bio diesel from the farm co op up here in 50 gallons drums, it worked okay in the summer months, not so good in the cold weather. Does the Greasel setup suffer any drawbacks? My dodge has enough miles on it I wouldn't be scared of trying it on it. So what's the better setup if anyone has run them yet?

I thought about running SVO or WVO and after a little research I personally would not feel comfortable running it in concentrations higher than 20% mixed with regular diesel. JMHO
