I would have to admit that using straight gasoline would be bad....I did hear of people using WVO/gasoline blends as well as combo WVO/gasoline/diesel blends too....Of course some of these people lived in warmer climates...As far as updating, I did run the truck a while and it did start doing the same thing it did the night this incident happened, with all the same things, let it set, it starts back up after a few, well as far as the blend in the tank, I did dump an equal amount of diesel to get it to some consistency close to regular diesel once again, at least to run it out. I did seem to have good luck with the 50/50 blend though. Its starting to look more and more like the truck's computer is being told to shut down after reaching a maximum threshold (high fuel pressure, oil temp, etc?). Of course I'm not gonna try the gasoline idea again, I was just thinking about the idea that if straight WVO could be run through these things, even at 200 degrees, I couldnt see what other "damaging" issue there could be with running thinned out WVO with diesel through the same fuel system when the fuel isnt heated to such a high temp without any diesel mixed....
