I was running bio (b99.9) in it... smells about the same although I had to put 5 gals of stinky ol petro in so there is still a little of that mxing with the veg oil... might smell better when it's pure veg. I bought 3 containers of soybean oil at costco for $16.29 each... that's a little over $3/gal but I have a local guy who will sell it in bulk for $2/gal. I also have a local sushi place that will give me 20 gals per week of WVO but I haven't set up my filter yet... I won't use more than 10 gals per week on average as the G is really a local driver for me... I drove it about 350 miles this weekend and although it was fine on the freeway, it's a little underpowered for the steep hills, has no AC, etc., so I won't be doing alot of road trips with it... I will be driving the hell out of it in town though... | ||

JCaine, Could you explain why you need to add straight diesel to you 99.5 bio? I have been running 50/50 diesel/straight soybean oil with no conversion kit in South Carolina at ambient temps down to 70(F) or so. It's working great. Jonathan | ||

I just ran out of fuel where there was no bio or veg available... you wouldn't need to ad any diesel to b99 unless the temp gets below freezing... | ||
