I'm SERIOUSLY considering the use of Black Diesel. In concentrations of 20% to 40%. But I have major concerns of coking and vp44 damage.
Are my concerns valid? Should I scrap this idea? Would it make a difference running in a mileage mode (empty) or using it just under hauling load conditions.
I have had it with this current fuel pricing! And am looking for reasonable alternatives.

I saw a bumper sticker today... It said... (DON'T STEAL! The government [And big oil] hates competition!) I think there's a hint of truth in that.

B100

If I'm filling up with B100, can I use WMO? I've read through all ten pages and didn't see this question addressed. Thanks!

Anyone know if WMO is free?? I would assume since mechanic shops and auto stores have to pay a disposal fee to the company that comes picks it up, they would be happy to get rid of as much as they could. ???? Wonder, if I gave an empty 5 gallon cooking oil jug to the local mechanic or service station, would they give it to me?

I'd be wary of trying ATF in the tank as it's designed not to burn, and has friction enhancers in it that might not react too well with the internals of a 24 valve injection pump.

Most waste oil generators if they do not have water or antifreeze mix in with it get paid up to .25 per Gal right now for it... But for 5 gallons they will just give it to you. Right now you can go to Northern tool and get a oil change kit that has a little pump built onto a container that runs on 12v. you can just take it up there and suck it right out of their tank... Take it off the top.. water goes to the bottom.

Check equipment rental yards too. We generate high quantities and it's piling up (for a little while ) when you go looking for it you might want to call it "used oil" some places are kinda touchy as to what it's called, kinda like saying bomb in an airport only dealing with the EPA instead!

???????????????????

Can you run WMO if you're already running B100? I've got a full tank of B100 and was going to add 1 to 2 gallons of WMO but wanted to check with you guys first. Thanks

Don't see why not since "B" fuel is a diesel substitute.

How about using a vacuum cleaner filter? Most I see claim 5 microns.

How much used oil can you run if you have a full tank of JP8 instead of diesel?
