What about SVO instead of BD for two-cycle oil? If you mixed ethanol and SVO would you get "biofuel vinaigrette" or would it actually mix?

Any data on bd vs 2 stroke oil lubricity? We've heard of quite a few cases of people using biodiesel as 2 stroke oil, some of them in the list archives, though without a lot of detail, nor long-term results, but we haven't heard of any destroyed motors. They all sounded like satisfied customers, using chain saws and so on. One had a 2-stroke motorbike, or was it a moped. We have a few 2-strokes here, chainsaws, strimmers, and we'd be using biodiesel with them only the 2-stroke fuel here is pre-mixed with oil. So we're waiting until we start producing fuel ethanol, which should be quite soon. More info please! Thanks Keith Yahoo!
