even when filtered, it needs to have a seperate tank that is pre heated and diesel should be used for starting and flushing when stopping.
the veg oil can thicken and even congeal at colder temps, clogging fuel lines and gumming up fuel systems.5/11/2006 10:48:36 AM |

I've actually seen a fuel magnet used for marine applications, but NOT for the purposes that these schlock marketers are claiming...
They are used to produce a strong magnetic field to kill off microorganisms and algae which may contaminate marine Diesel fuel. No mention about improving efficiency or economy. 5/11/2006 2:55:31 PM |
