Hi Huw,

You will need to watch running SVO at a greater than 25%SVO to #2d mix as it will foul the injectors and cause the top rings top stick according to two University studies, after about 500hrs. Do a google search for rapeseed oil.

Biodiesel is not SVO. BD has the glycerine (wax) removed and has approx the same viscosity as #2d. BD takes some VERY nastie chemicals to sepereate glycerine from SVO.

Check out the link below for a good read on BD and SVO.
