Veggie oil and 2-Stroke oil mix for S&G's
I just happened to find a half gallon of unused veggie oil while cleaning out the pantry. Looks like its been there for quite a while. Not sure if it goes bad, so for ***** and giggles I mixed it with a half gallon of Super-tech 2 stroke oil. I filled up this morning and added some of my funky brew. My engine really quieted down and runs waaaaay smoother, plus seems to have a little bit more oomph! Hope im not hurting anything. I usually only use 2-stroke oil at recommended ratio. Comments? Anybody else use home-brewed concoctions?

Well, it wasnt WVO, just old unused VO i mixed with walmart 2-stroke oil tcw-3. It worked so well, that I continue to mix with new VO. It seems to do really well with the 1/2 ounce per gallon ratio.

The triglyceride in the oils can do funky things to injectors over time if a high enough quantity is added to the diesel.
Think of it this way, is somewhat like a soap, and think of your injector as a shower. You can get a buildup in the injector like you would soap scum in a shower. I guess a better example would be to look at a fryer. They are covered in brown sludge.
By no means am I saying not to use it, but I would also follow up with some detergents if I were using a home brew of diesel additives for lubricants.
