Of course it is. I haven't run straight SVO, but know guys who do. It works.
The blend ran fine in my engine, no loss of power or mileage, and I go up
and down mountains every time I drive it.
.. Rudolph Diesel designed his early engines to run on straight peanut oil,
but it has nowhere near the energy yeild of diesel fuel. Diesel fuel was
named after him posthumosly.
here's a link to a good SVO site, but i don't burn enough in my car to want
to deal with all the grease and slime, I get enough of that working.

Heh, all the gas trucks run on propane here. And if you know people you can
