the problem is they are not misable meaning the veg oil will settle out hence the reason for using a 2 tank system. hope that helps.

I've mixed WVO with B100
I've mixed #2 with B100
I've mixed WVO with kerosene
But have not mixed #2 and WVO unless you consider the cross contamination of WVO to my diesel tank every time I flip tanks. IMO it's not desirable because the oil is cold. To lessen the buildup of WVO in my diesel tank over time I run it down to the red line before I fill up.

I have seen an injector that came out of a PSD that was doing this, it was not a pretty site and the reason he had to change it is a direct result of the mixing. I am not recalling what percentage he was using.

someone smarter than me like JOAT may jump in here and really 'splain it, but it can have disastrous effects.
the reason that injector was not so pretty is because the WVO will polymerize in the dino diesel. think like how a cast iron skillet is non stick.
