Just to clarify - fuel pressure gauge was the topic - I didn't want other readers to get confused here.

I've got a 4 mile commute - but I do make the occasional longer trip. My newly designed (and soon to be implemented) setup should allow me to switch to WVO in about a mile. Purge time shouldn't be that bad - when I switch back to diesel, the WVO should be purged down to a reasonable % mix within a 1/2 mile, and completely gone by 1 mile. That helps to cut my fuel consumption in 1/2. Blend by 50% also and it's down to 1/4! Also - if I head home for lunch and don't take too long at home, I can do ~ 6.5 miles of the 8 mile trip on WVO.
The final satisfaction comes in when I can finish up my biodiesel refinery and then do 100% of the trip off diesel!
