Fuel separation?

[Velocette]

My bongo sits around unused most of the week. Is the veg oil likely to separate from the diesel in 6 days and would it cause a starting issue? I am using about 12 to 15% veg at the moment.

I can only relay my experience - I had 50/50 in the tank, left it for a week. 4 degC in the morning after a frost and it started on the first turn of the engine.

I reckon you'll be fine.

Yes it does,but not that quickly..and at that ratio wont be a problem anyway..

10% veg can actually help combustion,mine always runs better on the stuff,

Does it separate oil on diesel or diesel on oil?

Does it separate oil on diesel or diesel on oil?

Pour some of each in a jam jar and leave it on the kitchen window sill.

I'm waiting for someone else to do this experiment because I know I won't get around to it!

veg goes to the bottom,and too so will the water and crud if your using old oil

Thanks for the advice all. Will carry on and maybe go up to 25% until the spring. It is new oil I am using.
