what is the absolute best car for WVO long distance driving..

[Corporal_Canada Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Corporal_Canada]

yeah that is the car im aiming for there is a 2000 ssangong musso in pampanga, 2-3 days travel for those terrified of airplanes.. only 180,000
try to guess how much i DONT have at this moment i am working on it however
so
5L paraffin and 5L wvo....
and can paraffin be safely injected into the combustion cylinder ??? from what little i remember from High school.. diesel compresses AIR and injects diesel to ignite it... no spark needed

paraffin goes for 600 php for 2 L, it actually makes more sense to buy diesel at 50-70 pesos per L
sorry thatis the socialist in me talking
i have an impact drill, i just need the mixer bit and i can spin the mixture of wvo and diesel together and boom... no im sad now, you robbed me of my joy...
im just trying to drive for free, as ive said im from Canada so ive been a slave to all petrol stations my entire life, my next option is either purchase a subcompact car IE toyota wigo.. or that Indian Suzuki Alto.. and convert it to electric OR purchase a cheapo Chinese electric car and slap (i mean bolt on or duct tape 2 big 700 watt solar panels to the roof.. if a 1.5 hp electric motor only takes i dunno 1500 watts.. and assuming i get the full 700 watts of each panel i believe that is 1400 watts meaning im pulling only 100 watts from whatever i put into the batteries (not including AC and keeping my smartphone topped up)

feel free to share your thoughts

From now on I will just call Paraffin Kerosene. That is what it is called here in Australia and in the USA.

Yes, you can run a diesel engine on 100% kerosene. In the USA and Canada #1 diesel which is the diesel fuel used in very cold winter climates IS KEROSENE. There may be a few additives mostly to improve lubricity.

The fuel used in most commercial jet engines is kerosene and is called Jet A or Jet A1. They are often called Aviation Turbine Fuel or Avtur for short.
The US army and Air force calls their version of Jet A JP-8. The US military uses JP 8 (kerosene) as a universal fuel for all their Jet and diesel engines.
The US Navy uses a higher flashpoint Kerosene for use on carriers called JP-5
Most of the kerosene manufactured in Australia is used as Avtur. It will run fine in a diesel engine. There may be a lubricity problem so it is probably wise to add a bit of biodiesel or WVO.

There is a jet fuel called JET B which is only used in very cold areas of the world. Jet B is also called "Wide cut" and contains more of the lighter fraction (gasoline) portion when distilling crude oil. Jet B has a lower flash point and is not used elsewhere because of the increased fire danger.
The US military calls Jet B JP-4.

If Diesel is that much cheaper than Kerosene I would use diesel.

that is what i am thinking, just 50/50 diesel and wvo and hopefully i wont have caramelization or clogged injectors, sorry abou the other idea with the electriccar, i dont want to picture myself racing Filipinoe Mad Max in the Philippines, im 43, my reflexes arent the same , maybe the Aptera concept looks really cool to me... maybe i will do it as a side project someday..
so paraffin and kerosene are essentially the same ??? because i do occasionally see kerosene at a gas station for 70 pesos a liter, diesel still cheaper..
sorry im from the french part of Canada.. you ,know Quebec ? the part that hates everyone ? especially the US ..; so i dont know anything in regards to their air force, i mean i dont hate them but there is ZERO US information to me about anything they do unless Quebec tries to put them down for example.. the Fiji earthquake, Canada gave x billion dollars and the reporter chuckled ashe said the US gave a fraction of that amount to Fiji (or was it Haiti ???), i dont get that arrogance..im only arrogant about being Canadian, the country that defeated ALL global super powers... and never lost... being Quebecer is such a headache its a miracle Celine Dion didnt nose dive off the Titanic during her stupid song

i am so sorry about the previous paragraph, you can disregard it, so ill just ask for a 100% confirmation, in a big container i can put 10L of station bought diesel and pour 10L of filtered wvo that passed through a i dunno a sock and a 400 mesh filter ???? and not add anything else ? no biocide ? no fuel injector cleaner, no paraffin, no kerosene, just connect the mixer bit to my drill and let it spin for 5 minutes and then let it all settle in a dark corner in my home ???and then pour the top portion of that container after a few weeks have passed ?? into the fuel tank of my, hopefully,, musso.... and afterwards the Indian idiom comes into effect "just take it and go" no boiling, ? nothing ???no sacrificing 20 blonde virgins ??? this will be my final confirmation if you say yes, i will only post i this thread if i have further issues..

dont know if its worth adding, but waste cooking oil here ISNT vegetable oil, it is used coconut and used palm oil... hope that is the same thing..

Everything you say is correct with the proviso that the WVO is sparkling clear when you use it. If the WVO is cloudy you should check for water as described in my above post. If water is present you need to de-water the WVO before using.

[Corporal_Canada Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Corporal_Canada]

thank you, that is all i needed

[tillyfromparadise Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close tillyfromparadise]

Just a quick addition.
Provided the WVO has been filtered and is sparkling clear when you mix it with diesel (No water present), as soon as the WVO and diesel are mixed it is good to use. No 2 week waiting required, and you can use the whole amount at once. It should already be filtered to 1 micron.

[Corporal_Canada Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Corporal_Canada]

oh, i was under the impression that i needed to settle it for a few weeks as for 1 micron, i havw a small 400 mesh filter, in addition, my favourite sock..

[tillyfromparadise Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close tillyfromparadise]

A 400 mesh filter is about 37 micron. I filter to 1 micron.
I mix the WVO and thinner first. That makes the liquid less viscous and it runs through the filter quicker than straight WVO.

Once the de-watered WVO is mixed with diesel and filtered it is ready to use.

okay, i wil look for 1 micron, umm, i dont know how to DEwater the wvo without boiling it, and i believe i explained that the country im in uses LPG for the majority of cooking, so unless you know a way that i can boil the wvo by using solar panels or a solar cooker or another way to DEwater it, im listening, or reading or you can tell me what thinner to use

[tillyfromparadise Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close tillyfromparadise]

there are three ways to de-water that I am aware of.
1- heat. you do not necessarily need to boil. I have never used this method
2- Bubble air through it. I have never used this method.
3- allow the WVO to settle over time and do not use oil from the very bottom of the container. This is the method I use.

The "thinner" you have said you plan to use is Diesel. I thin my WVO with biodiesel.

[Corporal_Canada Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Corporal_Canada]

okay, well since my mixture will be 10L of filtered wvo and 10L of station bought diesel, am i missing something ???
and you are telling me NOT to let it settle, im getting mixed messages here dude

[tillyfromparadise Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close tillyfromparadise]

If the WVO is clear when you mix it with Diesel, provided the WVO is filtered and the mixture is still bright and clear, it is good to use as soon as it has been mixed and filtered.

I mix the WVO and biodiesel first just before filtering. Either way works. It is just that when it is a bit cold, it takes a long time for WVO to run through a 1 micron sock/ bag filter. It runs much faster when mixed with biodiesel and I do need to filter my biodiesel too.

[Corporal_Canada Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Corporal_Canada]

okay, sorry gonna repeat myself here, sorry im just thorough, mix dirty wvo with station diesel.. pour THAT mixture through a sock and a 1 micron filter.. and to dewater it ?? let it sit for 7 days ? and only pour the clear fluid portion ???? or do i just dump it in the fuel tank right away ???
and since my deployment to this great country , ive never seen it dip below 30C... mind you, ive never had the courage to put 1 toe in the land down under

[tillyfromparadise Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close tillyfromparadise]

Have you collected any WVO yet?
Is it dirty and full of junk or is it fairly clear and clean.

You might be able to use it right away or you might need to leave it sit for a while until it clears.
If you are going to dry the oil by sitting you let it sit until it is clear.
You be the judge. If the WVO is transparent I consider it ready to use.


There is only I filter. The 1 micron filter is called either a sock filter or a bag filter as shown in my above post.
Because it is so warm you might not have problems just running the WVO through the filter. Give it a try.
You leave the oil sit until it is clear or heat it up to dry it until it is clear. You will have to find out how to clear it.

Only use the oil that is clear. Do not pour any garbage into your filter, it will plug immediately.
Once your mixed WVO and diesel is transparent which it should be after filtering the WVO, it is ready to use.
