    Clean WMO after Blending Question

    While I don't believe they will separate, the gasoline can and most likely will flash off vapor. Said vapor is very flammable. So keep the lid on the container to keep the vapors out of your shop. I welcome experienced comments here from those that mix and store quantities of WMO and Gasoline or...

    "All that said, it sure is one slow car! I suppose in the mid 80s everything was a bit slower but dang I dont think I could commute in this thing around here" My son drives a 240D, that is a 2.4 liter, non-turbo. When everything is tuned just right it makes a whopping 63 HP from the factory...

    "so is it possible the fluid type used could have caused all this weird behavior? Type of fluid and/or slightly overfull causing it to foam up... " I would not think that fluid type would only cause a problem in one specific gear. Foamy aerated fluid is not going to work well, so if you had it...

    The slow engagement might be an accumulator in the valve body, I would not pull the trans if that was the only problem. That problem could also be hard orings in the clutch drums behind the apply piston in the bottom of the drum. When they get hard they leak and it takes longer for the clutches...

    Before you pull the trans, hit the Mercedes forums for the specific series transmission you have. Look on the pan rail just above the trans pan for the transmission number. For example my 722.3 trans has some items that should be replaced even if they do not show wear or damage. I learned of...

    How do you keep the shaft from leaking? There are no seals on chevy oil pump shafts.

    I have used diesel at about 25% to centrifuge WMO. My system is inside a building and electrically heated with hot water heater elements to between 160 and 212 degrees, so I did not try gasoline to cut it due to the danger of fumes building up in the area. I would not be opposed to using...

    Suggestions for Running WMO in my 95 12V

    I typically run straight WVO. However I centrifuged one batch of WMO, had to cut it 25% with diesel for my centrifuge & centrifuge pump to be able to handle it. I did notice a little more smoke at idle, but it ran just fine with this 75/25 mix of WMO and diesel. I purged all the WVO out prior to...
