Re: [Biofuel] WVO and Kerosene
All I can say is that they are going to have parts breakage ( fuel pump, injectors, and anything else that is mechanical and deals with fuel moving through it). At very worst, they should use a mix based on 5 parts Diesel#2 to 1 part Kerosene. I never use more that 10% kerosene with Diesel #2 and I use about 1 qt SVO with the mix to help the lubrication.. Even my owners manual says that 30% kerosene should be used as a last resort, and 30 % kerosene should be the maximum amount used because it does not have the lubrication ability to prevent serious wear to the mechanical parts. I only use kerosene because I can not get Diesel #1, and I am at higher altitude with a naturally aspirated engine, so using strait Diesel #2 causes all sort of soot problems, due to the longer carbon chains, and lower Oxygen available at altatude.

Re: [Biofuel] WVO and Kerosene
We are running almost straight wvo, with a bit of kero added on cold days to keep it from gelling. Your waste kero seems like a winner if it can be dewatered. Don't use a lot, just enough to thin the wvo somewhat. The injection system determines the amount needed. Our Detroit Diesel with it's pump within injector is very happy on cold veggie, but it has to be able to move in the hose. = = = Original message = = = Hi group. I noticed a posting from someone using SVO and Kerosene in a Genset. Anyone out there have info on WVO and Kerosene for vehicles? I have access to waste aviation kereosene unsuitable for use in turbines (has had water in it at one time) and easy access to WVO. The water can be easily separated from the kerosene, which makes it suitable for heating oil and hopefully, a replacement for diesel if it's lubricity could be inproved with WVO.

Re: [Biofuel] WVO and Kerosene
Of course, they don't realize, or don't mention, the damage they are doing to their injectors and pump . Think lubricity! = = = Original message = = = On the journeytoforever website you will find info about mixing svo and kerosene (it also works with filtered WVO). Actually any diesel engine can run on kerosene since it is almost the same substance as diesel. From some workers at the airport here I heard several of them drive even on pure kerosene. For every four tanks of kerosene they haven driven they just fill up one time with diesel. Yves.

kerosene (it also works with filtered WVO). Actually any diesel engine can run on kerosene since it is almost the same substance as diesel. From some workers at the airport here I heard several of them drive even on pure kerosene. For every four tanks of kerosene they haven driven they just fill up one time with diesel. Yves.
