    New here. Different approach to wmo filters.

    I'd love to see that setup dissected a bit. I think i understand but I'm pretty visual. Those frantz filters do work. How often are you changing the filter media? What is the processing rate?

    Your video on setting up the barrel is probably the best one out there.

    FSS failure - A few Questions

    Almost was stranded last night - walked into the store, 5 min later walked out and crank/no start. OOF. Poured a bottle of water on the IP to see if I was finally at that stage - no dice. Started wiggling wires on the IP and still nothing. Guy is asking me if I need a jump - no buddy, I got...

    Running new motor oil vs waste motor oil?

    New oil will be a bit thicker than used, as most oil shears toward its W rating as it is used and VI modifiers are reduced. I run a Duralift and that has been fine with 90%WMO here over the last month or so. Heck, at $2 per gallon, I'd put away a year or two of oil changes as well (for my gas...

    Acme Juicerator 'Fuge, General questions

    I just found this thread. I have no idea how I have not found it beforehand. But it is related to WVO, not WMO. http://www.burnveg.com/forum/about8.html Also, this: And this:

    Actually retrieving WMO

    I've collected a few hundred gallons since I started this thread (using your advice), with yesterday being my single biggest haul. About 100 gallons of WMO and Hytran from a farmer. He lifted the barrel into my truck, I sparta-kicked it off the bed and onto a tractor tire. Worked great, less...

    Acme Juicerator 'Fuge, General questions

    Yeah. Its a ~8" open bowl at about 3400 RPM. The conversion involves sealing the bowl (perforated stainless), as its normal use involves essentially squeezing liquid from plant matter through the perforated sides of the centrifuge. Pulp stays in the bowl, liquid flows out.

    T-19 gear ratios and shift points

    Update for internet/history/completeness/purposes. I put into action the 18-30-52 shift points and it worked beautifully. Thank you.

    7.3idi: WVO: IP timing

    Haha - Putting it in the ketchup is redline, giving it the ketchup is mashing the pedal. Gear lugging territory is when you have low rpm's for the gear, so the engine lugs (not really a problem for automatics, but possible). Full throttle at low RMP in a high gear usually means little...

    Acme Juicerator 'Fuge, General questions

    Anyone with experience running one of these? Curious as to your processing rate (GPH) and thoughts on effectiveness? I happen to have one, considering converting it.

    Alternative Fuels: Product/Kit Recommendations

    I'd love if you took over PA biodiesel. I can think of a two barrel and a three barrel system, depending on the type of fuge. Both small footprint, But the three barrel is taller with an open bowl, vs a two barrel with a pressure-driven pump.

    7.3idi: WVO: IP timing

    I recently switched to WMO/W85 (more like w/88), and have some haze at idle, but I always have had haze when giving it the ketchup in "gear-lugging" territory on a shift. From the research I have done, folks advance their timing a bit at a time until they are satisfied (some also say add more...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Its funny that even though I have a welder, and sheet metal, I didnt judge such "quality" work to be a necessity (on this particular piece of equipment). I have now done some actual panel bonding stuff with automotive adhesive (on a modern vehicle) and am sold that it is a good way to go when...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    WMO is definitely flowing through the system - tried and true, lol. I imagine they will also overlook that its PLmax instead of 3M, given the fuel savings. I do intend to replace the screws with steel rivets - mostly for my own sake when working under the truck, lol. But, then again, maybe not...

    T-19 gear ratios and shift points

    Injectors are newish, pump is from before I got the beast in 2019, so unknown there. All things are possible culprits, but knowing how hard I can run it will certainly help.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I installed a floor pan and bent a new channel section for my weatherstrip, glued and screwed. I also put in a license plate for a section that had a hole and stress-cracks around it. License plates are flimsy, wouldn't recommend (I did it as a joke, but its a semi-permanent joke) I can only...

    T-19 gear ratios and shift points

    Frozen Merc: That is incredible. thanks! U2slow: Working on it. The ~$200 they are asking on ebay is just off-putting to me. I have a sensor to screw in and I think I have the circuit board to enable a Tach if all I could get is a tach (no cluster).

    T-19 gear ratios and shift points

    holy cow I was way off. For in town and regular driving, short shifting is never an issue, but there are some long/steep grades in my normal driving that always annoyed me. I was just never certain as to where I should be cautious with the rpms. My ear-tach was being quite the nanny. 55 MPH is...

    T-19 gear ratios and shift points

    Ah, I'm running a 3.5 (based on the axel tag).

    T-19 gear ratios and shift points

    (I have no tach, so MPH is really my gauge) What exactly are the shift points for a 6.9L with a t-19? Specifically, I'm working through losing a power bad in the 3-4 shift. At one point, I was doing research and was told about 35 mph was the high end for 3rd gear. I knew that wasn't right...

    New water separator with Duralift

    The water separator on my 6.9 has been bypassed since I acquired it several years ago. In that time, I replaced a facet cube with a Duralift (what it had when I got it, was getting starvation symptoms). I have now purchased an aftermarket water separator/filter to run with the factory filter...

    Actually retrieving WMO

    So I understand the concept of asking folks and getting the ok to take raw WMO from a shop. A question I have, as a know-nothing, is: how to you get the oil out of the shop? Do you bring/rig a pump to your own container? Leave a barrel/take a barrel? If you have to take a container/barrel full...

    DB offset starter review

    +1 I replaced an old Mitsubishi with a DB NipponDenso last year, and was blown away with the difference. Of course, its possible that a NEW mitsubishi would perform the same. I've never had experience with a new Mitsu starter in one of these trucks - All I know is that, thus far, the DB starter...
