Hallo Ken, Not sure but according to my wife's niece's boyfriend who uses the stuff you put 1/2 gallon kerosene, 1/4 gallon gasoline, cetane improver and the secret ingredients into wvo and then after 5 minutes you filter it 3 times, the last time being a water absorbtion filtering, and put it

Hi Gustl and Ken, If kerosene and GASOLINE is used, then what they may be doing is diluting the vegetable oil to lower viscosity and lessen the likelihood of injector clogging. The product itself may just be placebo. (Heck! Why didn't I think of that? NOT!) Best, Chris -Original

My word, two loads of bullshit - not only dieselsecret but selling glyc cocktail to composters. You didn't even get offered a commission or anything on that eh Tom? LOL! The inquiries we keep getting about dieselsecret usually say they stumbled upon it and it sounds too good to be true. I put the

Chris, I'm glad to hear from you. Sorry it took me so long to respond to your original post. Your post caught my interest. I did my tests and tried to respond, but I have been having problems with my ISP and little time to resolve them. I have plenty of glycerine cocktail. My

Hello all! Yup! Chris is right. When I read Gustl's reply and read gasoline, I just about laughed my head off. I grew up in a motor shop with my grandfather fixing all kinds of engines, and yes, we mixed gasoline with vegie oil for quickie fixes when we run out of diesel at the shop. Quickie

Hi, There was a post a while back (Mike W. was it you?) On a trip, running low on fuel (diesel) no diesel at the pump, the person mixed some rubbing alcohol with a gallon of cheap beg oil and added it to their VW diesel. It ran fine and got them to the next station that had diesel

Hi Tom, We use an ordinary 1/2 hp clear water pump with two inlet pipes to suck in glycerine and wvo. I just adjust the inlet openings to regulate the mixing. We let it settle in a dedicated separate tank for about the same time as you would settle glycerine from BD but I reckon longer is better

It are not placebo additives, They sell you a so called secret red additive, that might contain a emulsifier, a red color, and some solvent to lower the viscosity, if naphthalene ( mothballs) is added, that will also give it a distinct smell, giving the customer the idea that it is something
