So your mixing about 80-85% motor oil in your IDI, and thinning with only 15% RUG or KERO, that is a fantastic setup! I have read that the WMO burns hotter then veggie (I dont remember if it said hotter then diesel (is it called D2?)) and if I recall gasoline burns hotter as well. Any issues with running too hot, with that kind of mix?

My egts seem to be about 100 degrees hotter with WMO vs diesel. WMO has about 20kmore btu's than diesel. You might notice a little more power with the butt dynamoter. Mine feels torquer a little.
