    WMO question for the GURU's

    I want to run a mix of 50/50 JP8 and WMO. Will this work well. Both of which I can get for free. And what do I filter the WMO with? Thanks. Also do I need to start and stop on Diesel or can I run both tanks of WMO and just go for it? Thanks again.

    I did a couple of last minute checks today before the cross country and found that my ZF is full of 90wt oil. I thought that it was supposed to have ATF in it? I called the previois owner and he said that it is all he's ever put in it. Will it hurt anything?

    WMO and Synthetics

    Can synthetics be used. At work we fill up a 55 gallon drum with Aviation POL's every two weeks with Tranny, Jet Engine, and Hydraulic fluids. It's all filtered to 3 microns already so I wouldn't have to filter it anymore. Can I use this mix or not?

    Thanks for all the info

    I appreciate all the info from everyone. I just changed my glow plugs and had one of them barely slide out because it was mushroomed. All the rest of them were pretty much burnt black or brown. And I am going to be running 1/4 JP8 and 3/4 Diesel. Thanks again.
