Started running a blend of wvo and diesel 50-50% a week ago. If really cold weather is predicted I put in a couple litres of kerosene. Ambient temperture around -18 to +10 degrees c. Always let my car warm up for at least 15 minutes. Thermostat in the car is a 85 c. Wvo is canola based. I always warm up my car with a block heater for at least an hour before attempting to start it. I have put approx. 1000 km. on it so far, highway and city driving. I live a little bit north and west of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am looking for a combined fuel filter, water remover and fuel heater called a "goldenrod". Truckers in the arctic use them. My brother in law who is a heavy duty mechanic and trucker with experience in arctic recommended this unit. So far no problem. So far this is working for me. Good luck to all!
