Well heres how I view replacing the IP.
Yes it is probably true running any amount of wmo is make the IP go bad sooner, BUT the savings in fuel cost will offset that.
For instance, a rebuilt IP from Mel, (agmen), conestoga diesel, is anywhere from $600 - $800. $800 in diesel fuel will get you 210 gallons. If your truck gets really good mileage @ 20 mpg thats roughly 4200 miles.
So depending on how many miles you drive in a week/month you could figure it out from there.
Plus using wmo is not as easy as pulling up to a pump.
Someone here figured out a whole years worth of running wmo and the figures were interesting.
Good points guys, another thing I didn't say, just implied it.
Even if you do need to change a IP, its not gonna be every year unless something really goes bad.
AND, if a person is gonna figure all your "costs", need to figure your filters, CF, electricity to run all the motors, lights, etc.
Or at least estimate things....
Sometimes I think people will make fun of things they don't understand or afraid of trying something different....
I am running a WMO 80/20 mix in my 1986 Chevy 6.2. It takes longer to start now since going to WMO. Any suggestions?I always got, "your going to blow your truck up" from the guys at work...that was about 8k miles ago. and honestly, if done correctly, filtered WMO probably has less contaminates than pump diesel in it. The only difference is our fuel may have a higher viscosity and better lubrication. Since when did that cause pumps to fail???
