What do you run: SVO, WVO, BioD, or other?

<div align="justify">I don't run any at the moment, just wondering what kind of miz is out there in users. I however am looking for a diesel in south Jersey I can rig out to run SVO/WVO and then do a complete write-up on.&nbsp;

I operate my old, low injection pressure, idi, diesel lawn tractor on a blend of 20% WVO and 80% biodiesel in the summer. I run it on a blend of petrodiesel and biodiesel (about 50/50) in the winter.
I've run (since 2001) my high pressure, direct injected VW diesel on 100% biodiesel three seasons and a blend of petro and bio (ratio is temperature dependent) in the winter.
I won't run any VO in a high pressure diesel. Once the oil is converted to fuel, then I will.

I'm running about 91% diesel that I buy, either regular or B2 when I can find it, then I add 6% new vegetable oil, and 3% gasoline.

Mostly Dino, but I have a home brew system for BD. When I can get the oil I make BD in 40 gal batches. I just increased my processor size to 110 gal. With Dino being $3.79, I'm looking for free grease!
