when they dip they just use the water separator on the fuel filter to get fuel out.. no need to stick anything in your tank..

So this is what you do.

Leave your stock system in place and use an aux tank in the bed and fass to move the blend up to the CP3 inlet. Let them dip all day long or open the stock filter drain. If you want to be real technical about it you can get a few solenoid valves to isolate one system or the other and with the flip of a switch you can have the engine running on stock or blend.

Heres what ya do, make it all real easy, put in a fake tank in your bed dont hook it up, just put regular unblended fuel in there. Shave your gas tank door and relocate it somewhere but convient, but hidden, and tell them you have your bed tank hooked up to your stock tank.

Good question. Last time I tried to siphon fuel out of the filler neck, I couldn't get anything. I was told there is an anti-rollover valve in the filler. How do they get something down there?

(JOKER834) So is there a lot of noticeable black smoke created when runn'n 80% wmo???

Also, here's the link of the guy who got hit in Illinois for running WVO (waste vegetable oil). His story had a much happier ending, but who knows, maybe you could follow his lead & draw some much needed attention to the insane situation your facing there in NC!!!

Ya I tried wmo for the 1st time last week in my spare diesel tank but FORGOT which tank I was running & had not yet added any diesel in with the wmo. I ended up running on the wmo for about 45 min before I noticed black smoke pouring fromthe tail pipe...I'm thinking I messed something up bad & am now trying to figure out whats causing all the black smoke? (btw...wasn't trying to hijack the thread but noticed you had some experiance with wmo)

Not sure what the cause of that would be?

When I was running it the only smoke was blue and I ran it upwards of 90%.

All my experience with it was with the older model trucks and I havent read much on running it in the newer fuel systems?

Then I would be checking out your Injectors, Black smoke is indicative of unburned fuel.......... Perhaps the high hit of WMO partially plugged one of them.

Try running a tank of heavy dosed power service.

No news.

I have to send the IRS thier $1000 this week and I have still never heard back from the state on my appeal.

Looks like a $2000 learning curve!
