who out there is running on fuel other then diesel. I have a 1992 7.3 idi and run used transmission fluid with about a 50/50 mix when i have trans fluid. wondering if anyone else is doing the same or similar?
Personally after seeing the results @Sidewinded_idi posted up of centrifuged oil that had already been filtered, I'll be waiting for a 'fuge before I run any. I was very surprised how dirty his already filtered oil ended up being. I think he was too...

If you are running a stock fuel system, then yeah, a fuge is the way to go. I'm not that concerned about the photos in that link... different room temperatures affect the proportion of congealed liquids, so while it looks scary initially, it's not a major concern. Fuging that same liquid on a hot summer day would reveal less sludge than on a cold day in the garage .
But if you invest in a separate heated fuel system, then as long as the fuel is filtered to 1micron, it can run on thicker alternative fuels.

No it wouldn’t. The excess particles in dirty wmo will build up in the prechambers. Seen it firsthand many times.And we’re talking about wmo, you seem to be unfamiliar with it as your referencing biofuel. Two completely different processes. I haul heavy equipment for a living all on wmo so I’ll leep doing what I’m doing. No need to go someplace uncomfortable.Also, when I pulled my heads there wasn't any "clogged pre chambers." You need a citation on that.
If anything, it would clog the injectors for that argument to make any sense.
