[Vwdiesel] Know anything about "Diesel Secret"?

[Rudy]

I sold a Diesel Rabbit to a guy last year who uses, I think, the same stuff.
He told me you mix the stuff with a small amount of Kerosene and then mix
that with the WVO.  He said it worked great and he was very happy with it.

He uses it in a Mercedes Sedan and a Diesel Pickup, can't remember what kind
of Truck though.

I believe the VW manual specifies that you can thin #2 diesel with up to 30%
unleaded gasoline if necesesary (presumably when it is very cold). 
I use this as license to mix filtered WVO with unleaded, which thins it out
nicely.  I have never gone beyond 20% unleaded and this was in a Mercedes
diesel, not a VW.  Worked fine.  This blend will stay thin down to at least
40 degree temps and has the advantage of NOT causing wax to precipitate out
and coat the inside of your gas tank as will happen with a WVO/diesel blend.
If you google this mixture you will find many people running it.

To answer your question, I don't think a small amount of any "additive" 
will thin WVO enough to run straight... but why bother anyway when unleaded
works so well?  I think my eventual mixture in the turbobus will be about
10% unleaded combined with heating the fuel supply line via the exhaust.
That should be adequate for the climate here in Dallas.

additive? The web address is www.dieselsecret.com . They claim that their
additive will allow you to use properly filtered waste vegetable oil as you
would ordinary diesel fuel or biodiesel, at a cost of .46 cents a gallon,
assuming you can find waste vegetable oil from restaurants, for free, by
using their additive. I have contacted local restaurants but they say their
oil has already been spoken for. I have seen some adds for "Diesel Secret"
on the "Speed TV channel, so I assume some of you must have heard of it too.
Some say, just go to the back of a restaurant & take it without permission.
But this is stealing & I refuse to do this.
