svo / wvo horror stories

[macdaddy]

Before I dump that first gallon of "super clean" WVO in my tank, do any members here have horror stories of WVO experiences, like piston ring and valve coking?



Yes, I am skeered.

WVO/SVO IMO the temp of the fuel (wvo/svo) is the key.

I've ran wvo in my truck exclusively one summer about 2 years back.

It ran fine as long as the fuel was over 140 deg.

The next morning it didnt want to start. It was only about 65 deg out.



If I was going on a long trip I'd heat the oil in my 55 gal drum converted heater to about 170 then pump it to my 60 gal in bed tank.

If I knew I'd be shutting it down for the night I'd switch over to the factory tank with regular diesel in it for 10-15 mins to purge the system.



I had a heating coil in the 60 gal bed tank but it wasnt big enough to heat the entire tank full of wvo.



I did notice a slight decrease in HP and MPG's. I did use thei mostly for towing my TT so that may have something to do with it.
