hi guys,
sorry for my absence, I am at the caribbean, more than 85 degrees ferenheit all year. I do not use a fuel pre-heater, the engine start directly on WMO, some minutes, before reach operational temperture, the smoke is some white, not much, after 2 or 3 minutes the engine burn clean, as clean as using diesel. my issue is with the engine contamination and the poor fuel efficency when I use my blend.
here at my country:
1 gallon of diesel is US$3.85 and the eficiency is 12-12.5 KW-H/GAL. then is 30 cents per KW-H.
1 gallon of blend is US$1.82 and the eficiency is 8.5-9.75 KW-H/GAL. then is 19 cents per KW-H.
TO USE THE BLEND IS CHEAPER, BUT THINK IN YOUR ENGINE USEFUL LIFE, IT IS GOING TO BE LIMITED, THE CONTAMINATION AND CARBON DEPOSIT WILL WEAR THE LINER AN PISTON PREMATURELY.
