Re: Kerosene Supply
Hello David
I have looked up the viscosity tests and will try to make some sense out of them.
Viscosity testing was performed using the World Famous Dr Pepper Viscosimeter (Pat Pend) - Topic Powered by eve community
1. Kerosene is a bit higher in viscosity than petrol
2. High conversion biodiesel is a bit higher in viscosity than Kerosene
3. WVO heated to 80deg C as used in heated SVO systems is quite a bit higher in viscosity than high conversion biodiesel.
4. My summer fuel made from 50% low conversion biodiesel (13% methanol) and 50% WVO was quite a bit higher viscosity than the 80deg C WVO.
5. Mixing 1 litre of WVO with 250ml Kerosene made a fuel that had about the same viscosity as my 50/50 fuel
No mixing tests were performed with petrol, but at a guess your fuel that mixes 1 litre WVO with 200ml petrol would likely be about the same viscosity as my 50/50 fuel was
