I use WMO exclusively for years now in all my mechanical diesels. Blend is 85%. Love it. In Northern Canada runs great in the winter at -40 no preheaters, same blend.
In beginning had trouble due to not clean enough, plugged some injectors. invested in a bowl centrifuge and never looked back, fuge it, blend it, fuge it again. fug'ing at rate 5 days for 1000/L
Am currently running a "destruction test" in my old test 470K 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Mercedes 3.0 CRD. at 3500 kms and no issues, took a few tanks for the computer to readjust in beginning smoked blue on idle like a ******! only difference i see now is that I roll some coal when accelerating hard. Only mods is hot chipped from GDE, DPF delete and 1~mic absolute inline filter before factory filter. Also drive it like a stole it - but that is normal
Am pretty optimistic at this point in the CRD test.
To the pessimists - Yes I know wmo has sharp little carbon thingys and will wear injectors faster, that is what parts vehicles are for!
All figures involve some rounding to make numbers easier.
So 3500Km = ~2200miles
17mpg (remember the drive it like you stole it)
2200/17 = ~130 gallons used
Canada - $4.58/gallon (1.20L) ( we carbon tax our fuel to save the environment!! - not sure how that works but been assured by my betters it does)
I figure it costs me .20/L or .76/Gallon to make (paying myself $0.05L $0.19/Gallon for hauling/pumping oil, some capital costs included, trucking, centrifuge etc.. not free)
I save 3.79/gallon
So current savings 492.44 in the last 6 weeks. $82/week, $4264 a year
Paid $3000 for the jeep. Current ~200K jeep CRD prices ~$7500
If this works then I will pour it into my wife's nice, $16K, low mileage jeep and she does about double my mileage so $8528 a year savings in hers + 4264 savings in mine $12,792 savings in fuel a year for this family JUST in our daily drivers. Not including farm tractors.
I can buy 1 "new" jeep every year if I have too and still be ahead...
Am I willing to risk it? So far I think yes...
