Loren, thanks for the warning although I wasn't planning to use. However, I have read of suggestions of spiking diesel fuel with gasoline in extremely cold climates to prevent gelling. Since gas now has ethanol added to it in many states I Would think it advisable to not add gas to diesel. I am also wondering about using home brew biodiesel since you mix the WVO with methanol & a small amount of lye to make it. I am wondering if it would be safer to mix well filtered WVO with diesel on a 50/50 basis in the summer. What would be a safe mix of WVO & diesel for winter use along with some Amsoil "Diesel Fuel Modifier" spiked with  Biobar JH (both winter & summer)?
