    My 3 tank fuel system for WMO.

    Both those 3 port valves in your schematic go back to the 6 port anyway. All you do is plumb it exactly the same as you've already done but use another 6 port instead. Also be careful of some "fake" Pollack valves out there. You'd be better of with a factory OEM valve from a Chevy Truck [...

    My 3 tank fuel system for WMO.

    Just curious here. Why didn't just use 2 x 6port valves instead of 2 x 3port and 1 x 6 port. You'd have 1 x 6 port to switch front and rear tanks and the other to switch fuels

    Cracking WMO into Diesel Like Fuel

    What they don't show you on Youtube is the feedstock they're using. They could easily be distilling Diesel from Diesel just to peddle their miracles. Visbreaking is not "Cracking" , visbreaking occurs at about 370c but it only recovers the fractions in that range. After visbreaking the...

    Small car with diesel engine, what works the best with wmo???

    The two 1-KZ Toyotas are Computerised. They are very sensitive to filters plugging [even a slight amount ] so we added a helper pump at the tank which seems to cure this problem. The Toyota Corona 2C is naturally aspirated and required a bit of work to get running OK. It was a $150 Test mule [...

    Another way to get cheap fuel- waste plastic

    Here ya go! I Imagine that the EPA or OSHA will "lynch you " if you tried this at home. This was a tire pyrolysis plant in the middle of nowhere in Guangxi, China [ it would've been easier to find a moonshine ‘still in the Appalachians ] I apologise for the poor quality photos, the...

    Another way to get cheap fuel- waste plastic

    A few lies are being told there. When you Visbreak the polymers , only a percentage is recoverable [visbreaking is distilling] you can only recover a percentage of liquid portion , there will also be uncondensable gases [ short chain hydrocarbons ] which usually get looped back into the...

    anyone use an up flow processor

    I do, best thing I ever built for processing oil. Mine is made from propane bottles, It is a closed loop system ,the funnel is an old compressor tank that I pump oil into [ with a return line, to prevent spills from overfilling ] It has been running continously for 2 years now.[ I have...

    Wmo mix ratios for winter

    Gasoline is used purely as thinning agent [ a cheap one at that ] There is generally no Anti-gelling properties in winter blend gasoline Winter blends have a higher proportion of shorter chain Hydrocarbons [ at the butane end of the scale ] The side effect is that it is more volatile [...

    Blending WMO suggestions??

    I've been running WATF in the 90-95% range blended with gasoline for a few years now. My WATF source has dried up so I've switched to WMO 80% . You need to advance the timing as far as possible when Idling to get that "Diesel Knock" restored. But if your engine has more smoke and less power...

    Actual wear and tear of engine parts running waste oil.

    Kero has better cleaning ability than you think, Old diesel mechanics used to run kero though an engine to de-gum the fuel system but Kero is dry and it lacks the lube abilities [ parafins ] Gasoline has a lot slower flame propagation than Diesel / Kero so the engine running on W85 will sound...

    Centrifuge & Foaming wmo

    Try slowing down your pump speed a bit, you'll find the pump has the relief valve open all the time. On a power steer pump [ rotary vane type ] when the relief valve opens it recirculates the oil internally [ instead of dumping it back to the reservoir ] that where it will be frothing from...

    Pajero 2.8 Can it run on WEO/WMO? Runs on WVO now 100%

    Hi Brad, Sorry for the late answer, for some reason the administrator keeps banning my IP address which is starting to p*ss me off no end. Apart from emails , "fleebay" , a hotrod forum,and 2 other diesel forums my computer is not used for anything else so I cant figure out the mentality...

    My First Batch

    Carbon doesn't kill glowplugs. The carbon builds up a barrier between the injector tip and the glowplug in a prechamber engine ,then carbon absorbs the heat that should helping the atomised fuel to autoignite The easiest way to diagnose this, is to give the engine a slight "sniff " of ether.

    Pajero 2.8 Can it run on WEO/WMO? Runs on WVO now 100%

    I do,I just purchased a Nissan Bluebird Diesel [ CD20 powered ] 600 liters isn't that much to store [ 3 x 55gal drums ] in my case it is 10 x 60 liters drums, because I can lift them easy andwheel them around with a hand cart. I've had diesels for years, but the problem has always been...

    Thanks Brad1 The temps wher I live go from about 80 f in the summer down to 32 f in the winter mornings ,no snow at all [ no frost if I sleep in late ] Last year I ran solely on WATF 90- 95% with 10-5% Gasoline.[ winter I used the higher gasoline content ] Today I put the first D2 in my...

    Pajero 2.8 Can it run on WEO/WMO? Runs on WVO now 100%

    Thanks for the welcome! I've actually been a member since Jan 2009 but for some reason my IP address was blocked [ probably because my old computer was full of viruses ] New computer and New IP address and all is fixed I've been using WMO fuels on and off for 12 years, my Pajero has run...

    Pajero 2.8 Can it run on WEO/WMO? Runs on WVO now 100%

    Raster, you certainly can run WMO in a Pajero. I have a 4D56 powered Pajero that has been running a 90% WATF 10% Gasoline blend now for a continuous 12 months [ No Diesel purchased in a year ] There are a few mods you can do to help it run better [ lift pump at the tank, advancing the IP...

    WMO system almost there, keep getting air driving

    WMO Hey I'm curious about your 90 / 10 WMO blend [ any info and advice would be appreciated ] Contrary to all the negative opinions out there, Diesel's love running on WMO. WMO is the only alternative fuel I know of that increases HP [ vs Biodiesel or SVO in diesels, or LPG or CNG in Gasoline...

    WMO system almost there, keep getting air driving

    I am presently building a similar system for a Mitsubishi Pajero [called Montero in the USA ], I recommend TWO return lines when using a power steering pump. One return line is the normal diesel return to the tank, The other return line is from the pump to a pressure regulator which then dumps...

    DYED FUEL?

    Down here in NZ the govt used to dye "farm rebate gasoline" years ago, My dad used to filter the stuff through bleaching clay to remove the dye. The clay is sometimes known as "fullers earth" or "bensonite clay" I don't know if this will work with diesel or not [ mybe you can try ]

    New problem

    I hope they understand you ! "but on most V8 engines the LH & the RH heads interchange Usually one head has a heater hose outlet and the other has a blanking plug!" It seems like we are both trying to explain the same thing here

    Ford said "no thanks" to the bailout

    It's the gov't that needs the bailout Yeah we have the same problem with incompetent f**kwits running the place down here in New Zealand. I don't know if this is urban folklore or not:- There is a story down here about an old lady that dialed 111 [ 911 to you guys ] because the neighbouring...

    New problem

    As I said earlier "I can only speak from racecar experience here " Most electrical guages are a grounding circuit thru the sender units, so if there is a "short" under the dash it is most likely to be a loose connection on the power supply [ lurking somewhere in the evil wiring harness.Haha! ]...

    Ford said "no thanks" to the bailout

    A modern parable There has been a joke email floating around down under! Here it is: A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (GM) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On...
