    WMO and diesel mix in 6.0 PSD

    Filter very well is the consensus from what I have read due to the tight tolerances of the common rail motors. Second would be the cost to repair the IP and injectors if there was a problem from the fuel.

    White/grey smoke from WMO

    What kind of oil are you using? That can have an effect. Aircraft piston oil and gas blends are smokey compared to a 15w40/gas blend. What type of gas are you using? Old(stale)/new/avgas? What are you ambient temps outside? If they are original injectors then they might be not spraying a good...

    Coked injectors

    I run heavy as much as I can to keep the injectors clean and keep the engine working hard. Single tank all stock. Decent success. Would like to do dual tank and heater. Might look into water methanol injection. There is talk that would help clean the coke off of a di ingine but not sure about...

    Oil burning heaters

    Another idea is one of those Chinese diesel heaters that are cheap. There a bunch of videos about running a blend of wmo through them

    Oil burning heaters

    If you can find an old hot water or steam pressure washer that needs repair but has a good coil then that would work great for the heat exchanger

    Oil burning heaters

    Just saw this yesterday kinda interesting. Wondering if this would work with natural draft vs blower. They this came up lol. Be nice to generate some electricity while your make heat to dry stuff.

    Oil burning heaters

    Yah that would work great. Any old cast radiators for a home around you and box fan? They would be great. Or you could use an old heater core or radiator from a car. New wouldn't be bad either, price wise. Gerrysdiy on youtube has a cool little wmo water boiler. Worth a look he has a few...

    Oil burning heaters

    Do you have a source for free wood? You could make a solar kiln or wood heated kiln

    Oil burning heaters

    I would worry about the exhaust getting into the meats. 65c isn't to hot. Ideas I thought of was diesel genie running on wmo. With that kind of constant load it would nice and clean burning if it was a 10-15kw size and a 9kw load. Then you still have maintenance costs. Another idea would be an...

    Wmo and IP timing

    I believe that wmo has a higher autoignition temperature then diesel. This would make it harder for the engine to compression ignite(not even looking at viscosity differences). So starting with fuel heated up to 80c would be a great help to make it run better. With that said I don't know from...

    Wmo and IP timing

    I am thinking of a heater too. Mid 90s Honda civic(probably others too) heater control is cable operated(junk yard find for $5) and could be used to control the temp of the heat exchanger. Also putting a fuel temp probe on the heat exchanger fuel out to see how warm it's getting or right before...

    What do y’all think?

    I agree everything I have picked up second hand that is wvo has been coated. Borax(lye) solution has been the only thing I have found to soften and remove that polymerized wvo. I like wmo for ease of clean up and not sticky. Wvo eats through hoses to the point they are sweating out wvo.

    What do y’all think?

    You could use that for wmo settling/batching just as easy. Cone tank would be easy to get the sludge out for wmo before fuging.

    Waste Transformer Oil

    Second burn was of 50:50 silicone oil and jet a. Blended great and seemed to have 50% less white ash that formed on the outside of the paper towel. Notice it leaves some oil on the ground that does not burn or really get wicked up and burned. It was also dripping while on fire but the drops were...

    Waste Transformer Oil

    Silicone oil burn test. Dipped a paper towel in about half way and squeezed it slightly so it would not drip to much. You can see the un-oiled bit of the paper towel burning too. White ash residues. Took a bit to light with a bick lighter. Seems like the paper towel had to burn first before...

    Kerosene is cheaper than diesel. How much can I add to WMO?

    1qt cheap motor oil per 50gal is what I have been told for kerosene type fuels. I go a little extra lube just to be safe. Old heater oil might be just off road diesel, so could be run straight. Depends on what the person buys. "Stove oil" should good to go too. To my knowledge.

    How much crud should I be getting in my centrifuge

    Yep sounds like it's pretty clean and diminishing returns. Are you sucking front the bottom and putting back in the top for your fuge? That should give you the best way to make sure your getting good mixing for recirculating.

    How much crud should I be getting in my centrifuge

    Damn that is spendy for a fuge. I think you are on the right track. So if you have a 100L container and 3x means 300L worth of filtering. So if your fuge is flows at 150L per hour (lph) then you would have to run it 2 hours to have filtered 300L(100L over and over). But that doesn't seem long...

    How much crud should I be getting in my centrifuge

    Oh and if the contaminate is the same or close to the specific gravity of the fuel the a fuge won't get it out but a filter might.

    How much crud should I be getting in my centrifuge

    Yep always good to have a QC filter. Sounds like you have very clean oil. Nice. I have been told that when recirculating polishing/cleaning fuel tanks need to filter 3x the volume of the fluid volume to insure that all of the fuel is all passed through the filter(what ever it is) at least once.

    Waste Transformer Oil

    Well did a burn test. Paper towel, little hard to light. Left white ash. I will try to do it again and take some pictures and document better. Silicone might be bad for seals and cause leaks is what one article said about the change over from mineral oil to silicone base oils in transformers...

    How much crud should I be getting in my centrifuge

    Depends on the batch. If it's very clean to begin with then probably not going to get much out. Opposite is true is it is really dirty, will get a bunch out. What's your setup like? Thinning or heating before fuging? Single pass or multiple pass setup? Ambient temperature/temperature prefuge? I...

    Jesus Freak's WMO tow truck

    Never messed with the timing on a truck before. But have read advanced cause wmo burns slower. Gale banks has a series on killing a Duramax and he messes with the timing it is kinda fascinating. Can't remember which video it was, sorry
