    Pressure driven ‘fuge VS. Gravity ‘fuge

    Gravity feed is ment for a single pass. You are using lower flows its pretty much a calculation of time spent in the centrifuge for how clean it gets so high flows mean less clean time in the fuge. I use a super trickle flow where it takes at least 24 hours to make 50 gallons of clean stuff. I...

    Remove coking with egt?

    That's why a lot of people recommend a hard trailer run to get those higher loads with harder combustion pops under full power as well as egts. The risk is you can run to hard and melt pistons. Some years ago in my stock 12 valve I was driving through an area that had a high speed limit so I...

    Suggestions for Running WMO in my 95 12V

    Been running wmo for a bit but at much lower rates then most on here. I run about 3-6 gallons wmo added straight to the tank per tank fuel up except in the winter. The wmo I burn usually is a mix of motor oils mostly from diesels and synthetic 75w-140, 75w-90 gear lube. If it seems really thick...

    Suggestions on ratios of WMO for my 95 12V

    I run wmo light but everything i own get some. I usually run about 5-8 gallons a tank in my 96. In the winter ive ran 2-3 gallons a tank even down to -30F but it hazes no matter what and I noted the motor oil darkened a bit more quickly leading me to believe it doesn't burn much in those cold...

    Sludge, what you doin with it?

    I second the sawdust and wood stove in the shop. I even take the centrifuge sludge and burn it the same way except its scooped onto paper towels. Find any wood working shop near you they often times give away free sawdust.

    Compression "Jake Brake" for a 12 Valve!

    Go to the link i posted they have a 4k price tag to get one of the first run that is if they meet the funding they need. The site has a video as well. If they dont meet the needed funding they dont charge anything and the project will never come to be.

    Compression "Jake Brake" for a 12 Valve!

    they have funding for the jake brake up! I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention so we can show our support and see if we can help these people get the ball rolling! They have a funding program up to get things started so lets show our support. It can be found here...

    Home heating fuel oil

    Heating oil around here is usually no.1, it is fine to burn a bit dryer then no.2 diesel and burns a touch hotter so adding a quart or 2 of motor oil can help that. Around here we mix it atleast 50/50 no.1 an 2 to stop filter waxing in diesel vehicles during winter.(fuel stations even have pumps...

    WMO burns hotter than diesel?

    From experience if its hazing more and harder to start its probably been retarded not advanced, My ford tractor under load ran cooler with retard timing(it lowers peak hp but torque usually isnt strongly effected), advancing it to far will cause harder starts but not as bad compared to...

    WMO burns hotter than diesel?

    Definently will be awhile till i can get any solid egt numbers for wmo. Winters around the corner here so im already adding no1 to fuel. No1 by itself has altered the egts to be a bit hotter with no modification to my wmo mix. Im seeing around 30F degree difference cruising at 75mph and about...

    RED DYE DIESEL FUEL

    I know a trucker this happened to he just kept receipts and they traced it back to the station he got it from and they discovered the station was hauling dyed and regular with the same tanker so the dye was getting into the road diesel. He got out of the ordeal but he did have to put up a bit of...

    WMO first time advice.

    The thing to be careful with is fuel tanks tend to be dot certified though maybe im wrong. Just something i remember reading for my area with fuel transfer tanks so maybe its different in your area. You can get smaller truck aluminum tanks from a salvage yard for very cheap. its the route i went...

    WMO burns hotter than diesel?

    As a guess i say wmo runs hotter but im just assuming this from how a few tractors seem to heat soak a bit hotter with wmo. Ill be getting an egt gauge here in a week or so and when ever i get around to installing it ill be getting some actual numbers instead of guessing that its making more...

    WMO first time advice.

    Filtering is a must, ive gotten away with dumping it in a few times but then i had a batch come in with coolant luckily this batch was in a gallon jug i left outside in the hot sun for a few days and seen the separation on the side of the jug. I guess you might be able to make a system that...

    Super low buck filtering

    Not trying to be a downer in this thread but i no longer believe in using straight filters after my personal experiences. My previous setup used these steps in order. Settling tank pumped from the top through a 1 micron bag filter into another holding tank. Then it was pumped through a 10 micron...

    The little 300D that could.

    Have not dealt with a Mercedes diesel but i thought i read some where that the injectors have a 2 stage spray to reduce the clack sound of a diesel. I think i read that with wvo it was a common issue of the lower pressure earlier stage spray to fowl. I could be completely wrong though since i...

    1994 12 valve hard starting

    I bought a special banjo bolt with snubber at the injection pump, but ive heard of people removing the bleeder plug on top of the fuel filter and installing a valve before connecting it to a gauge. If you dont install a valve with some fuel line the needle on the pressure gauge will be...

    1994 12 valve hard starting

    If your sure you have decent fuel pressure to the pump with out any air leaks and from what you have posted id look at getting the injectors tested. If it runs noticeably rough id start to wonder if the head gasket blew between cylinders. Im just a bit hesitant to suggest a path of cost simply...

    wmo in a m35a3

    Id second this as a possible truth some of the newer pumps really are fussy. Running wmo through a bosch vp44 pump on a perkins diesel tells me that much.A guy at work was purging the fuel system of a newer cat the old fashioned way and it ruined the injection pump. Cat wouldn't warranty it...

    Oil in a 12v cummins?

    I really like that idea of circulating it and letting it become droplets to help dry it. Over the years heating oils has never worked out well for me. I had a line become disconnected at a power poll years ago and cause everything connected to ark to ground even my barbed wire fence was making...

    Oil in a 12v cummins?

    Ive stayed away from heat since i tend to turn on the setup and do other things while it gravity feeds through the centrifuge. Its usually flowing through the centrifuge at about a gallon an hour to get some good spin time. I found patience and settling gets most water and junk out before the...

    Oil in a 12v cummins?

    Finally got around to getting some pictures uploaded. I was curious how small of a scale i could do and found the gallon jugs worked pretty well. Only cost i was out of was the add a drain plug that i attached to the lid of the blue oil jug, hose, and the black oil can that holds 2.5 gallons...

    1994 12 valve hard starting

    Id second testing injection timing. My older ford tractor became hard to start when its timing slipped. It would haze a lot of white as well if i did get it going then would clear up as it warmed. The diesel clack of it also wasnt as loud. Check fuel pressure at the pump as well could be a weak...

    Anyone blend with E85?

    Havent played with e85 but most stations hear sell 10% tops. Ive used 10% for thinning with out any ill effect or any noted seperation. That being said id still be cautious to use e85, alcohol drys out fuel even in gas engines they noted that anything over 15% ethanol dried out the upper...
