Default Running 50/50 vegi in my 24v...?

Hello to all....

I am trying to find good info on wether or not I can run a 50/50 Diesel Vegi blend in my 99 24v. or not.....

I have several long trips planned this summer...And I have a waste oil filtering system setting up right now....It is a passive gravity fed filtering set up thru 3 tanks...Dirty waste oil at the top, filtered 2 times to bottom tank where it is clean enough to cut 50/50 with straight Diesel.... I and others have been running it in our 90-93 12 valve trucks with no issues...Run a Heated tank in the bed. Fire on straight , then switch over when truck is at operating temp. I am hoping I can do the same with the 24v....?

Doing this set up in my 93 You take 30 gals diesel and cut it 50/50 and presto you have 60 gals to burn. So fuel runs 2.20 to 2.30 a gal....instead of 4.30
And on long Hwy trips its nice, cause you can go to and from and not think about filling up anywhere in between.....

Any and All info is Greatly appreciated....

Thanks, John in Oregon

I am not familiar with Vegi blend, but it would be interesting to hear how it works.

Check out the alternative fuels/additives subforum if you haven't already. IMO, a two tank system with the veggie oil in a heated tank SHOULD work fine in a 24valve, but results may vary. Good luck
