    Cheap way to clean out WMO even more (using water)

    nice! how much of a difference did it make? im running an IDI and the heatshields get plugged every 2k-3k miles the pre-injection cups look rough from the salt deposits but nothing drastic

    Cheap way to clean out WMO even more (using water)

    Yeah better not to flush that down the drain haha, maybe return it as anti-freeze (here there's a depot for that stuff).

    Cheap way to clean out WMO even more (using water)

    Yeah exactly Later on, if you want you can also clean the wmo. Just add a lot of water to the batch and separate it out The water should draw out all the nasty stuff from the WMO that comes from brake / coolant fluid, if there's any = )

    Cheap way to clean out WMO even more (using water)

    VERY long story below, read it if you care. Saw no one do this so thought I would share. In short: add clean water to your WMO and mix it. If the water becomes disgusting, it means it absorbed filth from the WMO which a filter/centrifuge wouldn't be able to take out. Throw away that water...

    Only return line to frame rail fuel filter.

    Hey, I have the same thing and run a T section with at one of the ends a small valve (highest point in the engine). If it needs bleeding I'll open the valve which has a 1/8 hose attached to it (dumping some fuel inside a coke bottle), then close it off again after a couple of seconds. Seems to...

    New insight in IDI burning WMO - need high compression or turbo

    hi all, every single time, my car starts losing power after 3-5k miles, lots of smoking too. Definitely incomplete combustion. No matter the WMO - diesel/kerosene ratio it happens around 3-5k all the time. I found out the reason: the injectors heatshields get plugged; After replacing them...

    WMO Burner (Part 3)

    A short update. The 50% wmo 50% diesel is THICK. Just as thick as regular motor oil I would say. There's everything in this, from transmission oil to regular motor oil. Not sure what the exact blend is. Starting car is somewhat harder, rough idle first minutes, never had a problem ever even at...

    ip doesnt pull wmo as easy as diesel

    hi, any IP related stuff is specialistic work, I wouldnt recommend unless something is broken. It could be many things; 1. VE pump cant suck the fuel properly -> add a 20$ electric pump 2. Injectors fouled up and cant push out the WMO as easily -> replace injectors / run more RUG (Although 30%...

    WMO Burner (Part 3)

    The latest experiment; Made a custom bracket that goes over the upper coil mount, really sturdy, wont move anywhere Oil catch can extended a little bit, was bumping against the brake fluid reservoir The important bit is the shiny metal box, an oil-cooler, I run hot coolant through it (the...

    Coked injectors

    Had the same thing, IDI 1.6 liter diesel (VW) Top the shims for the injectors (used) below a new one. I just open and clean them every 2.5 - 5k miles. 1h job, so far so good.

    Injector pump longevity

    I dont think the mechanical injection pump will have any difficulties if; 1. The oil is not too thick, so either dilute it or heat it up 2. Not contaminated with crap, so don't run the thickest (bottom of barrel stuff) and filter (I use 1micron) At my non-turbo car I get a lot of carbon...

    Testament to the IDI (3k miles WMO experiment)

    Car was hardstarting and smoking alot. Especially on WMO. Decided to open it up and see whats going on. Mind you, this is after 2500 miles on the most filthy sludge WMO I could find. First two pics are of the pre-chamber, how it should look like and what mine looks like; all gummed up. Also the...

    Running straight WMO with electric pre-heater instead of 2 tank system

    yeahhh I have the same feeling. Sometimes I dump in the WMO straight in the tank after filteirng and it runs perfect, other times it smokes like crazy. In anycase, forget the entire story. Point is, I expect to need to run a 500 to 1000 watt heater for 1 to 2.5 minutes to get the car to start on...

    Running straight WMO with electric pre-heater instead of 2 tank system

    I'm doubting it would start with 100% WMO during winter, so I plan to use an electric heater for the first couple of minutes until engine is warm. Once it's warm I'll be using the coolant lines like the veggie peoples indeed =)

    Not diesel

    No need to clean anything, just empty as much you can and refill it to the brim with some high quality diesel and it will flush that all away.

    Running straight WMO with electric pre-heater instead of 2 tank system

    Wiith rising fuel prices, running 20% RUG in summer (and 40% in winter) is becoming expensive.. Instead of mixing the WMO some people run a 2-tank setup, but then you will be consuming diesel to warm up the car. Approx 5 gallons per month for my situation I calculated. (Say 10min to warm it up...

    WMO conversion for 1.6L IDI Diesel (N/A) build thread

    Planning to mod engine to have following things: 1. heated injection lines 2. heated fuel filter 3. electric pump before injection pump, to help pumping thicker oil 4. increased glowplug warming time 5. maybe an antifreeze heat exchanger Goals are: [Must have] 1. Less rough start, less prone...

    WMO filteration setup for under 50 bucks

    Hi yes, this is theoretical ofcourse; 1. the injection lines hold cold fuel that will get squirted in the engine first, until its all replaced by warm fuel from the fuel pump 2. the metal will be cold and cool down any new hot fuel until its all warmed up I'll wrap this pad (only 4$) around...

    WMO filteration setup for under 50 bucks

    Thanks. Nice ideas. I'm currently driving with 75% WMO. It starts a lot rougher, but once moving it's good, though smokey. I ordered some stuff to build a setup with: 1. heated fuel filter 2. heated injection lines 3. electric pump before injection pump, to help pumping thicker oil 4. increased...

    WMO filteration setup for under 50 bucks

    Hi, I've been using this setup to filter WMO. I get it for free from a local garage and mix it with heating oil / kerosene to burn in my car. The design I made was so it fits these design criteria: 1. it's quiet (doesn't have electric pumps that make noise) 2. compact 3. cheap (under 50 bucks)...
