been running 10% waste oil in my fuel and i'm loving it so far, it's only been 2 tank fulls but i have noticed that my egt's are 25-50 degrees cooler and a pound lees boost at 75 mph. my motor seems to have more power and quieter

 

my old man has been using the stuff for years and swears by it

 

50% on my second tank now. Sweet!

What are you filtering with??? I am going down to 1 micron.

 

he has a aux fuel tank in the back of his truck with a filter on the pump.

 

Where do you get the waste oil, is it clean, not have other stuff in it like ATF or anti-freeze? How do you treat it? run it through a filter or process it with a still. I am getting more and more interested in trying this.

used oil out of truck and equpitment he only puts it through the fuel pump filter on the pump in the back of his truck he runs about 20% or so

 

Filtering to 1 micron? That would be an expensive filtering system as that would remove any free water/glycol. The fuel system is filtered down to 5 I think, so that should be really clean.

 

A baldwin bf1212 will filter to 2 microns & seperate water which is what I was using on my ferd idi for the past 4 years.

 

Is that a bypass type filter? You can't possibly have a full flow filter for the engine at that rating without it being 6" in diameter. 50-80 GPM through 2 micron filtration is not easy to do..

 

I am going to use a centrifuge [ 1/10 micron ] , but am looking for what chemicals to use to PH balance , especially from gas engines , because of more acid build up .
So anyone know which chemicals to use ?

 

Cetrifuge's are Ok for the hard particles in the oil, they don't do anything for water. Also as they trap more debris, they become less effective, totally opposite to more standard filtration.

 

Well by all the info I have gathered , many using in the processing of bio diesel you are wrong on all counts .
Maybe your thinking of something els ?

 

I was thinking of engine oil type centrifuge.. I see we are talking different animals..

 

I am thinking of both , Dieselcraft brand , they have multiple models for fuel and oil , and they are all listed to what I mentioned , 1/10 micron , water removal and some other advantages .

 

Centrifuge by from my understanding does not separate the water, but a TP filter does.
