[Vwdiesel] Veggie oil

[Gary, Orlando]

Ok! You've picqued  my interest.

This has been a on-going confusion of mine.

I want to put another tank in my car for wvo. Use a six-port valve to
switch between the two, but have alway wondered about the small amount
of intermixing that will take place.

So you say that a small amount in each respectively will mix more or
less evenly? That would be great info.

Thanks,
-Gary
