I have aquired about 25 gallons of WVO and about 70 of WMO and I'm planning of filtering it to use in an M35A2. I'm still accumulating it as well. I've tried looking up any previous threads on the subject, but really couldn't find any that answered my questions about doing this. First off, I don't plan on running any more than a 50/50 mix of diesel and WMO/WVO. And as far as mixing the WMO and WVO, I don't plan on having more than 25% WVO in the mix. For now its in separate containers, most of it unfiltered. I plan on filtering it down to 1 micron just to avoid any problems. Will these two fuels mix okay, and will they separate out over time if I store them mixed? I have several drums that I can store them in seperately if I need too, and mix them as needed. I also plan to add a little gasoline to thin it. (just a little)
The WVO is pretty much all Canola oil, most of it used to fry fish in. I plan on using the powder to absorb the water out of it before running it through the first cone filter, (that's how restaurants filter it to reuse) then through bag filters. Has anyone had any problems with WVO turning rancid and unusable?
I'm trying to save a little on the cost of running the truck, so any opinions would be helpful.
