if its fairly well used it normaly not a problem. once filterd its about same consistency as derv (i been running it more than a year even in -temps no prob.)
Be careful mate chips were invented in Belgium. It's only because some very disorientated GIs thought they were in France, that they are called French Fries.
have a read of this http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/waste-veg-oil-fred-169713.html

Some engines suffer from ring gumming on wvo...mercs are a pain but it can be got around.
Research a lot before you tip any svo in your tank.

I dont know how true this is but i have heard that if you buy a 200 l drum of heating oil and add about 5 l of vegie oil to it you can run your diesel on italso i dont know the price of heating oil so dont know if it would be economical.
Don't f*cking do it and stop telling people you've heard rumours that you can do this unless you want to start buying replacement engines for the people that listen to you :doh::doh::doh::doh:

So you use WVO and what is the oil you use is it sunflower Canola peanut ,grape seed, olive oil, or palm nut oil. and what is the mixture you run apart from saying the mix of heating oil and vegtable oil is not good.
as all oil are different the cetane number must be different?
Which is the best oil as you must have done some research before just pouring in some filtered wvo?

5ltrs of heating oil to 200 ltrs of veg sounds better. heating oils is kerosene which burns red hot, alot hotter than diesel and will have the exhaust manifold glowing red. I use kero with my svo in the winter months to thin it down.
I heard a roumour that if you fill your tank with AVGAS then your landy with fly :doh:
DISCLAIMER: I can not be responsible if you do break into a airport and tank up with AVGAS, find you cant fly, blow your engine into 1000 pieces and with CO19 stood behind you

Diesels won't run off petrol. AVGAS is petrol with a very low water content and around 110 octane.

paraffin will bugger pump and injectors sooner or later,you may as well use red diesel which wont hurt pump
Avgas is petrol. Avtur is paraffin. No need to ask your lad. Avgas, Aviation gasoline. Petrol. Avtur, Aviation turbine fuel. Paraffin.
