    WVO designs raw power fuge

    I use a centrifuge from PA biodiesel and I've had luck getting the black out of it. I also do 48 passes though....

    Gear oil as fuel

    I would add 1 gal gasoline per 4 gal gear oil. Gear oil is THICK and the addition of gasoline in a roughly 20/80 mix will help cure the viscosity issue that gear oil causes.

    looking to get back into the WMO life

    So did you get back into it and start running it?

    Centrifuging D2 from the pump

    I've done if before and gotten some silt looking stuff out of it but not enough to accumulate and "stick" to the sides of the centrifuge. Since this post is 4 months old, what'd you find when your centrifuge arrived and you spun diesel?

    Clean WMO after Blending Question

    Your post was about a month ago but thought I'd jump in since I have direct experience. My oil storage is 275 gallons and yes, I've had problems with separation of oil/gas even after centrifuging. What I do is it it sits for more than a few weeks, I'll just centrifuge it for a full pass again...

    A lot of centrifuge crud

    That's pretty representative of all successful setups; suck just off the bottom, drop it back on top, and run it until the fudge is minimal in the 'fuge can. Every so often check the bottom of the container to make sure nothing is accumulating. He does it with a barrel, I do it with a tote...

    A lot of centrifuge crud

    My setup is to suck about a 1/2 inch off the bottom of my tote, centrifuge, and deposit on the top of the tote. Through natural recirculation, I'm confident that most, if not all, of my oil passes through the centirifuge. Since I use a 250 gallon tote and go for 30+ passes, using the same barrel...

    A lot of centrifuge crud

    I would run that in the centrifuge longer, that's a good bit of sludge still. How many passes did you have on it at that point?

    Run WMO 7.3 PSD ?

    My tune is from DP-Tuner and it worked great. I didn't have the two tank luxury but I still didn't have any issues with starting/stopping on my WMO mix....just had to take care when it was extremely cold to make sure I added a bit of extra diesel or kerosene to the mix to keep it flowing right...

    Run WMO 7.3 PSD ?

    I think I have the single squirts, they're an aftermarket set from Full Force diesel if that helps. My setup is a 275 gallon tote with a platform on top with the fuge centered over the fill hole. In addition to the platform, I drilled a hole on the top left corner and have a pickup tube running...

    Run WMO 7.3 PSD ?

    I think that may have been the difference, I centrifuge mine for ~30 passes. Reading through some of my old posts, my injectors were inspected after 13K miles of WMO and didn't have any carbon deposits. I think the difference maker in the WMO has less to do with the carbon and more how much...

    Run WMO 7.3 PSD ?

    How many passes did you make on the centrifuges?

    Run WMO 7.3 PSD ?

    Sorry, Fuel Pressure. By running a FP gauge you'll be able to tell when your mix is flowing right and ensure that you aren't starving the injectors.

    Remove coking with egt?

    I centrifuge for multiple passes until the WMO stops making grease and found that makes a big difference. Excessive centrifuging, proper blending, and WMO tune for my PSD led me to thousands of trouble and haze free miles. In my 8.3 Cummins, I didn't have the option of a tune so just stuck to...

    Run WMO 7.3 PSD ?

    I did it for thousands and thousands and thousands of miles. Centrifuge for multiple passes, blend properly, and get a set of gauges to watch FP, and you'll be good to go. There were a ton of naysayers saying it couldn't be done but I'm proof that it can be.

    '93 f-350 DRW towing 15k total

    I would avoid the 6.0 like the plague unless you have the means and motivation to work on it not if, but when it fails. Have you thought about an International 4700? They come with a 7.3 or DT466 (or something in between), have the axle, frame, and brake power to stop the heavy loads, and can...

    White smoke under load.

    What kind of scanner did you use? What were your numbers? Although you'll see mention of orings and cups all over the internet, it's pretty rare(compared to injectors). Ae will almost always point you to the right injector, not sure why the other fellow doesn't use it very much. In all my work...

    White smoke under load.

    My guess is an injector. Do you know anybody that has autoenginuity? A contribution test is an easy way to start off checking before you get underneath the valve covers. If its bone stock, it can also be a valve cover harness. Sent from my C6730 using Tapatalk

    idi reliability HELP! --warning ... long crazy story

    Have you heard of Good Sam Platinum? Roughly $180/yr for their roadside and they'll tow just about anything. I have an international crew cab and they sent a hdt semi wrecker to pick it up. The hook up fee was $200 and the tow was $350...Good Sam covered it all. You get up to 100 mile towing...

    idi reliability HELP! --warning ... long crazy story

    My vote is to learn how to do as much as of the work as you can, $700 for the fuel pump was absolutely criminal! You've replaced so much already, you might as well keep going and get your $4500 worth out of that transmission. Did the tranny come with a substantial warranty? I'd recommend...

    Hydraulic Oil

    It runs off diesel, you can either add a line to your tank or give it it's own tank. Not sure about fuel line routing and whether it needs it's own pump though...

    Hydraulic Oil

    My truck has an aluminum cold air intake pipe, I think it would take the heat generated by this. It works by starting a flame and warming the air that's sucked in the cylinder, I'm trying to find a universal one sold locally.

    Hydraulic Oil

    That manifold heater looks like a decent idea, I'm searching now to see if there's one local to me with a schematic. Thanks!

    Hydraulic Oil

    I just finished fuging a batch of hydraulic oil, I ended up mixing in about 10% gasoline and it looks great so far. I'll run it this weekend on a 550 mile road trip, we'll see how she does.
