Best mix
#1
Been trying a lot of different fuels and mixes recently.

My favourite at the moment is 50% veg 30% diesel 15 % waste oil 5 % petrol.

Car runs nicely on this.




Have you found a certain mix which makes your car run better? Sound better? Or perform better?

100% diesel it runs and sounds and performs very well! lol

I try loads of different mixes depending on what I am using as my veg...my latest is tescos veg oil, rapeseed.
I managing to get it at about 90p a litre with vouchers so I am living with that.

95%rapeseed.5%petrol with a 50:1oil mix. runs and starts a dream. no flat spots

I usually run 80/20 WVO/misfuel, which usually results in 80/10/10 or there abouts WVO/diesel/petrol. Depends on the blend of the misfuel, I test it with a hydrometer first. Some batches are nearly all diesel! I also treat my batches with 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (cetane booster).

I found cetane booster became a waste of money.

did a couple of full tank tests with/without.

What additive were you using Piggy? I was sceptical it would do anything, but I've been using it 2 years now. Cold starts in winter are definitely improved, and I do think the car runs better. Indeed there are research papers that demonstrate the difference a cetane booster can make. The overwhelming opinion veggie forums is that it worth the money, and getting those guys to spend money on anything is very difficult! All in all it costs less than 1ppl anyway.

These off the shelf cetane boosters probably are a waste of time. The active ingredient is 2EHN but it's usually there in a low concentration. Try some big boy cetane booster Smile

Misfuel? Where would one go about getting this?
I guess its just fuel that has been contaminated or something?

It's fuel drained from a car that has had the wrong fuel put in it. A guy that runs recovery trucks lets me help myself as it costs him £50 a drum to get rid of. While a 50/50 blend is actually difficult to ignite, I would urge some common sense when handling the stuff. I only take what I need, use an all plastic pump to transfer, and keep it in sealed HDPE containers. I blend it with the WVO at the nearest opportunity so it isn't lying around. I let it settle then filter straight to 1 micron, it makes filtering so much easier.

Dosage is 0.1%, so for 20L would be 20ml? PM me your address, I'll drop a sample out in the post if you like.

it had a bosch pump Wink


misfuel is a mixture of diesel and petrol from cars that put the wrong fuel in at filling stations

if you have a friendly garage they will give it to you for free or cheap as they have to pay to despose of it after they have removed it from customers cars
