LoL!! Then you'll really love thisBlasphemy!!!!!
I've been using old discarded rug as the oil thinner. It takes more effort to push thicker oil through a filter and it takes more heat to burn a thicker oil. So by that logic the blue smoke out the tail pipe on a diesel would be unburned oil.
The truck I drive has a turbo and will smoke a bit when burning oil at idle but cruising down the road shows no smoke. That is because the turbo is compressing additional air into the cylinder which aids in fully burning the oil.
Remember a fire need 3 things to live fuel, air, and heat.
I found out the benefits of thinning the oil from 2 different experiences. When I was driving back from Vegas in my truck on 100% wmo, it started to run like crap outside of Fallon. I switched to tank containing #2 and it drove fine for the rest of the trip. I figured my filter was getting plugged since my last tank fully was only filtered to 10 micron. My other experience was in my Mercedes. The turbo doesn't really kick till 1500-2000 rpm I was running 60% wmo and 40% #2 and I was clearing traffic behind me I added a gallon of rug to the tank and shook the car for a while. Soon after driving I got added power and less smoke. An a few weeks ago I drove to Vegas again on a Tank of 75% wmo 25% rug in the mercedes.
Here is what I know, #2 is 10 wt maybe a little less. Rug has little or no viscosity. Wmo viscosity can vary alot but 30 wt could be a decent guesstimate. Rug will thin wmo more than #2 will. A Mercedes is kinda pickey about what it burns but our idi's love it all.
One last thing, straight out of the Mercedes handbook. " Varying with the temperature, add a certain quantity of kerosene, if only #2 summer diesel fuels or less cold resistant winter diesel fuesl are available or if temperatures drop below -16c/ +3 f . If regular gasoline does have to be added, it's proportion should not exceed 30%. Premium fuels should not be used. Engine power may drop according to the proportion of suplementary fuel."
