We are planning on blending for the summer I asked the two possible suppliers on the sunshine coast about their quality control and this is the answer i got from one of the suppliers "www.plantoilrecovery.ca"

"I pre-filer the oil, then run it through a centrifuge. I test the occasional patch by passing it through a 1 micron filter. I haven't done a acidity test. The plant oil fuel sells for .60 cents a litre."

are their any other questions i should ask before i pour a bunch of this into my tank?
thanks
sean

diesel floats on WVO. Therefore there will be WVO at the bottom of your tank where the pickup is. Cold WVO will pump through and maybe combust incompletely in your cylinders, and leave deposits. Very many people blend with success, but i for one would not recommend it. A decent WVO conversion costs less than the price of a new engine.
