I live in Yuma, AZ where it's about 110 in the summertime. Can the 6.2 run on a 50/50 diesel/WVO mix in this temperature okay?

Sure... it will just eat up the Injection pump and injectors. WMO in a 6.2 you really need to filter to 1-2 Microns and even at that the carbon in the fuel will eat stuff up.

Thanks, and for winter temps which are usually 42 degrees at night and 55-60 during the day. Would the same mix do okay without heating or should the WVO be reduced to 25%? I am not ready to go full heated 100% WVO just yet, so I am looking at the different WVO/diesel ratios that will work for my area without needing dual tanks, heaters, etc. Whatever will cut the cost of fuel for now. :)
