Just wondering about adding a bit of B100 to RUG (Regular unleaded)?

[DarbyWalters]

Driving home tonight I was thinking...what could be the advantages to adding a small percentage of B100 to RUG for FE? If it was kept at 2.5-5% I don't think it would cause and "running problems". The BioDiesel would also act as a lubricator. Lastly, the extra BTUs might do interesting things to the mix. Not to mention the possible reduced COs. Has anyone tried it?

Hadn't seen that before, thats pretty cool.

Check your oil and look for polymerization. A guy on biodiesel.infopop tried it and it leaked passed his rings on start up and thickened his oil in 1000 miles. I guess if you start and warmup on pure gas it wouldn't be a problem, but you are defeating the purpose.

I ran out of Biodiesel befor I could to enough testing, for the most part what I started out doing was checking to see if the B100 mixed with gasoline, would foul up spark plugs, or o2 sensors, as far as I could tell with the few hundred miles that I put on my 4 stroke motorcycle, it had no negative affects, it seemed to burn compleatly, it didn't detract from the power of the 12.5hp engine (part of why I chose a small motorcycle to test, a drop in power would show), but I wasn't able to proove that my gas mileage changed, up or down, after taking in to acount the amount of B100 that I added, other then the fact that the B100 was acting as a direct replacment for the gasoline.
If you don't want to go back and re-read my old posts, I was running a 10:1 mix in a honda cb125, altho a 5:1 mix worked "ok" I think my motorcycle engine runs to fast (10,000rpm) for a compleat burn to happen.

Ryland is that % of mic correct? I run 2 stroke snowmobiles that make in excess of 300Hp without NOS, with NOS 350-400hp and we run mixtures of 40:1. 5-10:1 that thing would be a smoke machine and that would realy screw something up on a FI car.
