[QUOTE="rdbigfarmboy, post: 542254, member: 6318"] The most important consideration is WHAT R U PUTTIN IT IN? What engine or brand are you going to try to run on biodiesel or vegetable oil? Older trucks like older plain tractors with no electronics other than a kill switch are generally fine with one consideration. NOTE some injector pumps like cav or lucas rotary style pumps use the diesel as a lubricant for part of the pump. Trucks and some bigger tractors have seperate oil supplies from the oil sump or an individual sump. The importance is BIODIESEL or SVO being as much as 20 time thicker than diesel at 70 degrees F may not properly lubricate the injector pump. Remember the free used vegetable oil is typically a blend of what ever is cheapest. Most of what I get is imported. Soy oil is great, but because the oil price has more than doubled in the past 4 months, most is now a mixture of what ever is cheapest. Again some oils are thicker than others. Biodiesel is not thin diesel it is still fairly thick. Check some boards where users are talking. [/QUOTE]
