My first filtration rig and WMO Adventures with a 4bta Cummins
Hey guys... new to the forum.. been reading/researching a bit and built my first wmo processor
My truck is an 03' chevy tahoe z71 that I recently swapped a 4bta cummins diesel in.
I will probably only run a 20/80 blend since its starting to get cold... 20% wmo and 80% clean #2... should save around $20-$25 per fill throughout the winter...
Anyways... here is my setup so far...
Setup goes from a ~55 gallon drum - 10 micron whole house - 5 micron whole house - 2 micron cimtek filter/filter head - storage barrels
My only concern at the moment is the settle/start drum leaking... the fitting in the bottom of the plastic drup is a 3/4" flange... its bolted through the drum with a lot of red rtv... I'm really hoping it holds. Also, I'm not sure if gravity will be enough to push through the 2 micron filter... might have to go from the 5 micron filter to the storage barrels and then pump from the barrels through the 2 micron to 5 gallon fuel can for use...
Not sure... we'll see here in a few days. Ive got several sources for oil so that wont be an issue... going to pick up 50gal tomorrow to get started.
I do have a question about blending... I know most make up w85... using RUG to lower the flashpoint of the wmo... would it be better to go on and blend my wmo with RUG and do 20% w85 / 80% diesel or just run the WMO without RUG?
Thanks for any input/advice.
