Just added my second batch. First one ran fine.

I am pulling my 66 gallon slip tank and will put tubing inside it plumbed to a circulating heater off the engine coolant system. Its a 1500 Watt heater.
I am going to put a layer of Linex on the tank too. Then I will run regular pump diesel from the factory tank and the experimental fuels from the slip tank.

 

Jeez Scotty, whats in that coffee

 

Just put my 1st gallon of used oil in the tank after a fill up. Little scared of it, but from what everyone says....................?

 

A scientific blend.

 

With hurricane Rita bearing down on us we might be without fuel for awhile. I have little over one gallon of ND30w and plus over 5 gallons of used motor oil. If I have too I will use it.

I'm considering running waste oil in my old chevy with the 6.5td. I just have to figure a cheap way to filter it so I can give it a try.

 

I run a gallon per fill up.

 

I've ran over 1500 miles with both a 50/50 and 60/40 mix of Diesel/Waste Veggi oil, I would think that the trace sugar/salt/msg would be much less harmfull than the particulates from grinding pistons, silicon and other particulats that are in WO, unless you filter down to 1 micron. I have checked my filter at 300mi intervals, I have never seen my filter remain so clean, my mileage has been so far seen -1 mpg decrease, but given the fact that I'm saving over $40 per fillup, i'll take that 1 mpg loss. I'm filtering the wvo down below 5 micron, and combining with diesel and 16-20 oz of Diesel Power service. I have had no problems thus far with any kind of waxing, gelling, or clogging of my stock filter. My truck is much quieter and smells like eggrolls.

I ran a 30% mix of WO and noticed a 3mpg decrease on a tank of fuel... plus the truck just plain stank like a crapsickle!

 

infidel. I truely respect your knowledge and appreicate your wisdom, however you are incorrect about this. Everything mentioned and more is easly filtered out of WVO. I have been doing so for over a year. Due to being "Off Topic" I'll not elabotate here.

Now, I saw a couple posts that said no if the truck has a kitty. But I've also seen several sig's with people running WMO with 04.5s and 05s. Now, does burning this just render the cat ineffective? Or does it clog it and ruin your day? Or can you burn some oils but not others? Help me out please.. If I can lube my fuel system, and recover $10 from what I spent on changing my oil, I'd be smiling!!

 

I would like for you to elaborate. Could you PM me with the details?

 

I'm going to start running drain oil in mine. I wouldn't reccomend running it straight from the drain pan to the tank...there are lots of impurities in drain oil, such as tiny metal particles, that you could keep out of the truck's filters by doing a quick filtering first. Just stack up 2 or 3 paint filters and pour the oil through them. They aren't as fine as a true oil filter, but they will seperate the larger particles out.

I filtered mine through paper towels. That's after letting the bigger junk settle out for a couple months.

 

you guys are on the right track im running 25 % wo with furnace oil
some poeple are scared of the fine but hey its 1000$ ive saved more than that the gov can kiss my but
