[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 2590001, member: 6281"] I dont want too toot my own horn but I am quite a expert in the wvo world. Injecting cold wvo into an engine causes incomplete combustion and had you gon another 20k, 30k 40k miles, carbon buildup would have eventually cratered an engine. The explanation of this is lengthy and I wont go all in but to simplify: heat a skillet to 700* surface temp, Drop a tspn of wvo (cold, say 60*) in it, it will smoke like hell and carbon up the pan before it fires off. Now do the same with wvo that is heated to say 160*, it will ignite instantly with no smoke or carbon. Someone 11 years ago explained it to me just like that and they are dead right. Same thing happens in your combustion chamber. Less so mixed with diesel but still the same overall condition. I have 200k miles on 2 different ford diesels. One is a 6.0 with 190k miles and a recently converted 7.3 with about 10k miles. I run a seperate two tank heated wvo fuel system. Roughly $40k in diesel saved.
