Howdy -
All this talk about different fuels piqued my interest - especially
while watching the Audi documentary (called "Truth in 24") about them
winning LeMans using a diesel powered sports car. There were also many
signs around the circuit promoting Shell V Power which was used to power the
diesel engines in the Audi's. Awesome cars - instead of a roaring race car
passing the grandstands, they rush past with a quietness not normally seen
at LeMans.
Just wondering is anyone has any quantifiable reasons for using one fuel
over another? I believe some diesels have a minimun Cetane rating higher
than other diesel fuels. I wonder if there are other reasons for choosing
one fuel over another?
I'd like to get the best mileage but not at the expense of a fuel that
keep the injectors and inj pump clean and working properly. Stuff like
that - anyone know of someway to figure out which fuel is the best? The
"Seat of the Pants" method can be misleading and can take a long time --
Any ideas?
Thx -

WVO contains several things that cause trouble as fuel:
Protein (clogs filters, carbonizes, and produces varnish in the IP)
Carbohydrates (clogs filters and carbonizes easily, abrasive)
[SNIP]
