I wanted diesel because I have vegetable oil biofuel for it running out
my ears. All my cars and truck runs on vegoil we get free from Chinese
restaurants. I'm not going in the power biz with this genset. I live in
hurricane country. Diesel engines have a very long history of far
outlasting any gasoline engine made, of course.

They have diesel trains and ships for a reason...(c;

Since you brought the subject up =:-)

Do you have to heat the biofuel during cold spells?

Do you process the veg. oil or simply mix it with diesel?

Any problems with deposits building up in tanks.

I ask because I'm interested in using it in a sailboat where the fuel
may stay in the tanks for a considerable amount of time, depending on
the wind.
