No, but oddly I was just thinking about that last night.
I wonder what ratio you could safely do before it would be hard to start?
I have read that it is about 20% but last time I checked it was still about 30 dollars for 35 lbs which I think is like 4.6 gallons so about 6.50 a gallon so no bargain yet but it is getting there.
I'm not an authority on this, but I think you would want to keep the ratio even lower than 20%...maybe more like 5%
With biodiesel you can run it straight into your engine from the tank as normal, but I think with SVO you need to have a separate tank with heaters. Need to ensure the SVO gets to about 130 degrees or so as it is being injected to prevent coking. And then a purge from the injection pump to ensure that it doesnt gum up the IP.
Has the price gone up since I last looked at it? It was 1.45 a gallon when I saw it a couple of months ago.
