    WVO and WMO...

    Yes. Several times with no issues. Anywhere from probably 30-70% WVO and the rest RUG and WMO. Like I said, cannot attest to what happens if you mix them in the tank, though my hunch says not any different.

    WVO and WMO...

    I've used both mixed, and know people who have as well. I've heard bad things about mixing it in the vehicle. When I mix, it all goes through the centrifuge together so any "junk" that supposedly forms when the two are combined is probably fuged or settled out. I was reluctant to try it for a...

    I'd love to see that hahaha

    W80: keeping it mixed

    There have been a couple times where I set the pressure around 80psi while I let it spool up. Heard a quick "tick" noise and looked and it was over 100psi. Now it will barely spin up at all. What seal are you talking about? Just the big rubber one on the bottom? It looks like there is more oil...

    The little 300D that could.

    Sounds similar to the issues I had with my OM603. Run $20 of #2 through it and some standadyne and it would clear right up. Borderline miss on one cylinder and a lot of white smoke. Have you checked the timing? I originally thought mine needed motor mounts until I adjusted the timing forward...

    W80: keeping it mixed

    Yes, light can definitely pass through it. Looks like dark beer as you said. This batch ran for about 24hrs and had a lot of junk in the 2-3 cleanings we did over that time. Last night it ran for 3 hours and had maybe 1/8" of junk. Then ran 8hrs overnight and probably had 1/8" again. Running...

    It's always thick and kinda tacky, but never grainy. Looks and feels like chocolate pudding. Acid, do you pre filter before the fuge at all?

    W80: keeping it mixed

    What I'm wondering is with no pre filtering and running for a total of 24hrs, can I be certain I'm getting a majority of stuff, below say 5um out of the oil? What is the tar? To be honest, I'm not concerned with cleaning my oil to .5 micron, I know many people running single sock pass oil...

    W80: keeping it mixed

    Got it plumbed in with TSC hydraulic hoses for peace of mind and let it run for about 24 hours, cleaning once about halfway through. That's the longest period of time I've heard of anyone running their oil. Out of curiosity, I ran it for another hour after the 24 and the bowl was starting to...

    W80: keeping it mixed

    I put the plate in last instead of the o ring before putting it back together. Working fine now. Up too late with it last night... I knew it was wrong as soon as I took it apart just now. Thanks for the help guys.

    Also, the only rubber seal I see is the large one on the bowl. Is there another one somewhere else? Looks like just copper bushings at the top and bottom of the bowl?

    W80: keeping it mixed

    Not patronizing whatsoever, complete newb to this so any info is appreciated. Not sure why it would appear to be slower after cleaning. I did not over pressure it at all, seems to spin freely on the shaft, even took it up to 40psi or so with the top off so I could make sure the two pin holes...

    W80: keeping it mixed

    Need to get the transfer pump hooked up still. Gonna be nice! Only ran for about 40 minutes just to see what I'd get since it was getting late. Cleaned the bowl and got a little water and about 1/16" of junk in some spots. Turned it back on and it seems like it wasn't spinning as fast, was...

    Got all the fittings to hook it up yesterday. Can't wait to get it going! PAbio dude is out town until Friday, so my fuge won't ship until then though -____-

    Looks like Acid has his bypass looping back around into the suction for the pump. This works out well? Saw a lot of setups that dump it back into the drum, but it seems to me your setup would be better to ensure everything is actually getting cleaned in one "pass".

    Fuge ordered. Went with the kit with the pump to save time. Really need to get it running ASAP. Won't take long to pay for itself in fuel costs, several months in filter costs. Hopefully here before the weekend. Excited!

    W80: keeping it mixed

    Another 4-5k on the 12 valve, no issues. Getting closer to possibly accepting that a fuge might be the way to go. How long do you guys typically let them run for? Acid, how much are you into your current setup for? Looks like I can get the PA setup with pump and motor for around $500...

    Three mercedes added to the mix. Anyone with expereince running these on oil?

    It doesn't sound like it, but have you started running one of them regularly on WMO yet? I'm definitely interested to see if you have the same issues with coking I do. Edit: just checked my mileage. Only getting about 18mpg. :( Maybe need to check timing or something. 75% of that driving was...

    can I prevent coking with WMO?

    I have a Dodge ATF heat exhanger I was running as a fuel heater for a while. Haven't hooked it back up with the new motor but fully intend to. It seemed to run more smoothly and haze less at temp when using it. How's that for an uninformative post? Haha. I'll be sure to report back with the...

    Three mercedes added to the mix. Anyone with expereince running these on oil?

    I've run about 80gal through my 300SDL with the OM603. After 60gal, it needed some diesel/cleaner run through it to restore power. Hoping this isn't as much of an issue in warmer weather. These things already have a fuel heater stock. I'm sure you've read all about the head issue on the 603s...

    I've read about PCB in transformer oil... Internet fallacy? Or something I'd need to verify before accepting.

    W80: keeping it mixed

    Do you guys have any advice on places to hit up for oil? I've scored a TON on Craigslist, but the supply is getting down now and I'm seeing a lot of other ads up in my area for wanted waste oil... for a while, mine was the only one. One ad even offers $.50gal! Hoping it's mostly a winter heating...

    W80: keeping it mixed

    I modified the intake for the pump such that it only draws in oil from the top down. Before, it was just a pipe in the side of the drum 8" off the bottom, and I'm almost positive it was still sucking in a large amount of the junk that had settled to the bottom. This seems to have helped a lot...

    It's on my mind, but it concerns me having to leave it run unattended.

    W80: keeping it mixed

    Mine only gets one pass through the CAT spin on filter before I consider it truck ready. They would not last long otherwise. Maybe I need to get it cleaner before it gets to that filter?
