Hello all. I've been trying to figure out what percentage range my vegetable oil/diesel will eventually achieve (and the equation I guess). I figure I could just calculate a few values, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the answer.
Here's the question. I run my truck on a combination of vegetable oil (WVO) and diesel. The tank started with a full tank of diesel. After going through 1/3 tank, I fill it with WVO, so we're at 33% WVO, 66% diesel. I run through 1/3 tank and fill it with diesel. Now it gets confusing, I went through 1/3 so where do we go from here? or does that even matter?
I'm repeating this pattern of filling my tank after burning 1/3, alternating between diesel and WVO.
I'm thinking the equation will be something like (1/3)n x 1/3^n where n is the week number?
or is this the equation for if I fill the tank with WVO every time?
Thanks for the help.
