    Try Marvel Mystery Oil or Lucas Oil products. Lucas makes additives especially for diesel. You could also try adding 100% pure acetone to your fuel tank. Use about 1-3oz per 10 gallons.

    The final fuel product has detergent qualities .
    How can you reduce vegetable oil viscosity?
    There are a number of ways to reduce vegetable oil’s viscosity. These methods include; Transestrification, Pyrolysis, Micro Emulsion, blending and thermal depolymerization. One of the most common methods used to reduce oil viscosity in the Biodiesel industry is called transesterification. This is not a new process and by all accounts it was conducted as early as 1853, by the two chemists, E. Duffy and J. Patrick. One of the first uses of transesterified vegetable oil was powering heavy duty vehicles in South Africa before World War II. South Africa abandoned the technology and went on to pioneer making fuel from coal instead.
