well i was playing around on saturday (i know never good) and i came up with something. i was heating some old margarine with popcorn oil and some bacon grease . after it had gotten warm i started pouring in some filtered WMO. i mixed in it around half and half i filtered it all down in a 1 micron bag before putting it in a bottle, i then mixed in a little RUG. 2 days later nothing has seperated and its still liquid. it has the consistincy of the motor oil i added to it. im going to cut it with some more gas and and possibly some diesel and see how it all settles out. just thought id share .
i have yet to consider putting it in my tank until i see how it all settles out after a weak or so.

It could thicken as the temp lowers,this will cause the lines to get plugged.
It may be more of a head ache than a good idea.
That said, I could see it working if you were to use it up on a trip,and not
let it sit.

The premise that has been behind my blending experiments for the last 7 years is, if it remains in solution for at least a week, then the solution is likely to run on my engine without problems. However, as budman67 mentioned above, a temperature drop could cause the precipitation of fat out of solution, so consider blends containing animal fat are warm weather fuels.
