blended wvo fuel

well I found another wvo source and am back up and running, but not really happy with the performance, mileage, and harder starting of blended wvo.
My blend is 40gal wvo/ 5gal RUG/ 1qt Powerservice additive/ 8oz MMO/ 8oz mineral spirits. with this I'm getting 14-15mpgs where with dino I average 18mpgs.
Anybody else blending and care to share their formula?

Thats not exactly to good for your injectors. Hence the drop in MPG

For the PSD, roughly 20% Jet-A, 5% RUG, 1 ounce of both naptha and turpentine per every 10 gallons of WVO.

I know nothing about the Cummins. Kerosene would replace the Jet-A
