[Vwdiesel] Alcohol in Diesell

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

The methanol used to make  biodiesel is essentially consumed in the process.  Although tiny amounts may remain, it is inconsequential in amounts IF you do your calculations are right in the amount of methanol you use.  Hayden

> 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)?
