Your exhaust must smell really pretty!

Have you tried filtered deep fryer oil from a Chinese buffet restaurant mixed in with the diesel yet? I'm too afraid to try that with my '01 Duramax, but if I had a deuce....

Right now Im just collecting the pieces to make a settleing tank and pump.
Im in the process of a major home remodel so 99% of my energy is devoted to the house.
Once the house is done all my free time will belong to me. Im gonna do like you said mix straight WVO and diesel. Maybe 50/50 maybe more WVO as I start to get it dialed in.
We dont plan on staying in the Seattle Area so Im weary about starting any more projects than I can finish before we move.
What is the compression on your Duramax??

Whatever the stock compression ratio is. It appears it's supposed to be about 17.5 from a quick Google search.

Where you headed after Seattle? I assume you're not a native of here then?

17 to 1 is pretty strong compression that should have no problem running Bios as long as its clean and free of water.
Were all packed and ready to move to the Big Island of Hawaii.
We have a few Familey acres over there and will be the first ones to build and live there. If we make enough money on the house then Ill take the Deuce just the way it is, roll on roll off and pick it up at the port and drive it home. If not then Ill have to break it down some , lose the camper and shove it in to a 40 ft container with our van and motorcycles. I can Ship a 40 ft container for the same price as just the Deuce/Camper combo alone. Just short of 10k. Ouch!!!
