Hi Bill,

I read a article from the UofID that ran 50% SVO(raw veggie oil) and they said they didn't have any problems in a 500hr test on each of several popular engine makes, about a 95' article date.

At greater than a mix 50%, then they had injector and top ring sticking problems but they also didn't preheat there SVO. They were using rapeseed oil.

According too the web forums I've read, heating 100% SVO resolves alot of problems.

I would test your mix in a freezer as that will tell you "if" you will have a cold weather problem. The VW TDI boys are using regular commercial made diesel treatment too treat a 50/50 mix with good cold weather results.
