Good for drinking ....
I don't care what all the sceptics and supposed scientist think they know. My 2.5TD is running on WVO from a Thai restaurant, that is filtered cold through a pair of jeans and a 5 micron sock. This is then left in a settling tank for 1 month in my green house. This helps the white gunk settle to the bottom. I then pour that straight intot he tank. No Bio-bollocks and dangerous chemicals in my house thanks.
I also buy SVO from any supermarket or Costco when I see it cheap and stick that straight into the tank. And once in a while when I feel flush I put £10 of derv in to thin it down when it's cold. Int he winter it's 50/50 mix of WSVO/derv. This time of year it's pure WSVO. With a set of motorcycle hangdlebar grip heaters wrapped around the fuel filter to help thin it down a bit.
Big Blue Bus is running fine after 3,000 miles of this.
Convert it to Bio-diesel????? WHY?????? More cost, more complication and definitely dangerous.

excellent post!
Can you suggest a source of handlebar heaters?Do they need to be the pad type elements or can you jig the grip type to work,maybe around the pipes in/out of the filter?And would a 12v immersion heater element in the tank/strapped to the filter be safe/do the business?I like your style patman!!!

Indeed. Mine's on 100% svo at the moment can't tell any difference.
oddy it will work
if your still not sure just half fill it with svo and carry a can full of derv round with you just in case you need to reduce the mix - but you wont

Oil be surprised if you dont look quite slick when you are puffing smoke and hiccuping and farting.
Watch out for hazards you dont want to get battered.
If anything happens it may be an act of cod.
All this advise seems like a red herring and that is afishull
