Hi,
I live in South Jersey and have been burning WVO for over three years in my Ford 1999 F350 7.3L DI Diesel.
After talking with an engineer out in California, I got the idea of blending 25% diesel with 75% WVO duing the winter months. Works fine, but you still need to start up and shut down with diesel. During the warmer months from late April to October I run straight WVO (no blend).
I have found that the secret to the whole WVO thing is purity. You must always know that your fuel is purfectly clean. I do that with, that's right, a $500 buck Stainless steel filter assembly. It is worth every buck!
Since going to that, I have never had any problems burning my local pizza shop's oil. By the way, I pay zip for the oil. He's happy to help me and it costs him nothing in recycling fees!
