New Vegetable oil

Fuel prices suck these days ... I have been sitting on around 150 gallons of new vegetable oil . It was out a pizza supply warehouse I cleaned out last year .
Really can't resell this , the oil is in sealed plastic containers .
Any problems cutting this with diesel and running it thru a 12 valve ?

Just a suggestion... I wouldn't mix WVO with Diesel. You might want to take the WVO to a Bio-Diesel guy and have them make up a batch of Bio-Diesel. Or, convert your truck (The Right Way) to run on WVO. Just keep in mind, Veggie Oil is getting increasingly hard to obtain. Also, gathering and burning WVO is not as easy as you might expect. It's easy to make a mistake and cause problems with your truck. There is a learning process involved.

mix it 50-50 with D2 through the summer.
You are lucky to brand new oil. I burn 50% or more in my 12 valve no problems. I have to centrifuge and remove the water before I can use it. Make sure is is liquid 1st. Some oils are hydrogented and
are thicker until heated.

Had a pallet of the block stuff also but I had no use for that stuff ... This new oil is sealed 5 gallon containers . Helped a buddy who bought out restaurants and it it was just a lucky score for me .
Thanks
