Hello, My WVO consist of 80% polyunsaturated oil and i calculated that this has an iodine value of 150. But when i look at the table "National standards for biodiesel", found here http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_yield2.html#biodstds
you see the iodine value of BD should be on avarage less then 120. Which makes my BD not suitable for my car cause the BD will undergo polymerisation. You also read on the webpage that oil with a iodine number above 50 will damage your car. Found here http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_yield.html. On the other hand i red this article stating that "Trans-esterifying triglyceride oils and fats with monohydric alcohols to form biodiesel largely eliminates the tendency of the oils and fats to undergo polymerisation and auto-oxidation and also reduces the viscosity of the oil to about the same as petroleum diesel". Found here http://www.shortcircuit.com.au/warfa/paper/paper.htm My idea was to mix my "high polyunsaturated BD" with mineral diesel until it does no demage to my car, but i now i don't know how much of each i should use. Can anyone help me please, i am very confused.
