visited A-1 barrel company this morning. They recondition barrels, vacuuming out the contents. Oils are strictly separated (showed me his certificate of purity, which he needs to sell it to guys who use it to heat shops, etc)...mix of virgin motor and tranny fluid (mainly) with a tad of veggie. 1,000 liters for $75 (includes tote)...comes to 28.4 cents/gallon.
What I am womdering is now is if this stuff can be used in a dual tank "veggie oil" system. The flash point of D2 is 125 degrees, of veggie oil 620 degrees...motor oil is 460, 480 for synthetics and tranny oil is 400. So from that perspective, it should work. Viscosities, I doubt are much different, especially at the injection temp of 160 degrees. The only thing I'm wondering about is: 1) the effect of burning oil detergents in the engine 2) what do you get when you burn synthetic oil? plastic? The oil furnaces burn it fine, so I think it should be OK. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. --- OK Don <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Very good - keep us informed! > > On 8/15/05, Christopher McCann > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > yesterday I finally got around to draining my fuel > > tank.
