Well... a little hic-up came up today...
Had a full tank of 50/50 blend... ended up driving around 150 miles... mostly interstate... by the time I got back towards home, the truck was smoking heavily... hazing heavy at idle and smoking at anything off idle... by the time I got to a fuel station, I noticed a very slight mis at idle... other then that, it didnt seem to be down on power or anything along those lines...
Anyways... dumped 10 gallons of pump diesel in the tank and drove it ******* the way to the house... haze is still there but the light mis seems to be gone.
So... I've read about this being a common problem on power strokes, etc... is there anyway to keep from coking injectos (I'm thinking thats what was going on..)? Will bumping the timing up and preheating the fuel to get a cleaner burn help with the coking issues?
Am I going to be stuck to lighter blends with the cummins? I've read many stories about guys running 70+% wmo and 30%k1 without issue... so why am I seeing a problem with only a 50% blend?
Thanks for the input guys
