How do you filter, especially the cutting oil before putting it in the tank ?

So is it OK to run wast oil in the third gen trucks? Looks like most of you guys have the first or second gen. trucks. I'd really like to try this but wanted to ask this first....LCH

Right now I am working on a whole new project but I am up to about 20% mix right now with only about 1000 miles and no problems and no smoke. I have only been running light oils such as 10w30 because I had the best luck with that on my Ford.
I hope to have my fuel processor running by the end of next week and I won't have to worry about that any more. But that is a whole new thread...

Read more about it here http://www.cummins.com/au/pages/en/p...s/centinel.cfm
Lets get things straight here, I'm talking used motor oil, not used deep fryer oil (WVO).
WVO contains all kinds of residues that can damage your engine and can't be filtered out such as salt, sugar, msg, etc. Although some people run WVO without processing you mainly see it used on older diesels. If you are going to use WVO on an engine you want to keep for a long time you are much better off converting the WVO to biodiesel.

The Centinel pumps small amounts of highly filtered engine oil into your fuel tank while adding the same amount of new oil to the engine at the same time. They say with this system that oil changes are extended to 500,000 miles.

On the 05's, the dealer lists the exhaust part as a "resonator" rather then a cat.
As such, I assume it would be ok to remove it, and is this necessary to run waste oil? It does have the honeycomb in it like a cat, but will it clog up like one?

I mixed diesel and motor oil in a 55 gal drum and used a 12v pump to circulate it through a TP Bypass filter for a couple of hours and then through a regular fuel filter into my 60 Gal auxiliary fuel tank. I just started mixing different %'s until a got to 50% and noticed some smoke during acceleration (more than normal) and then backed off a notch.. Bam! 1/2 priced Fuel!
I just installed the tank in the Dodge and I am going to rig it up so that the stock fuel gauge will work when I switch over to the aux tank... Sweet Setup from Northern Tool >> But cost a bunch!
I love the Forum... Very informative and not as many poeple complaining about ther truck!! To Tell you the truth... That is the main Reason I Choose the Ram!
