    WMO system almost there, keep getting air driving

    I run up to 90% wmo in the warmer months but drop back to 50% in the winter as the higher ratio can be a bit stubborn to start on a cold morning.

    Does filtering WMO for fuel remove the soot?

    Greg you don't need to heat WMO for an IDI for about 4 years I ran up to 90% WMO/Dino in mine cut it back to 50/50 in the winter 2 micron filter on a 1 hour cycle.

    WMO system almost there, keep getting air driving

    I just have to ask why ?? It seems like you are trying to solve a problem that should not exist, I've been running WMO in rates as high as 90% with no problems thus far ( 40k miles to date ) no mods to the truck all I do is filter well in one of my 55 gal barrels for about an hour using a 2...

    Guage/ opinions

    One of the things I liked about them is the sending units come with the package most others you have to pay extra plus who are they kidding you have to use the matching sender with the gauge so its not like there is a choice so why don't the sell 'em that way in the first place ???:dunno

    P-7100 - 160hp pump (Auto Trans) vs 215 pump (Manual Trans)

    For what you've already done you are in the danger zone without gauges, a stocker can pull 1200* so with your tweaks you could be hitting 1400* at times. ;Really

    wmo = blue smoke ?

    I run upto 90% WMO in the warm weather & 50% the rest of the time, this is a bit higher than my old IDI would start on but once she started she'd run on 100% WMO. I ran those blends for over 40,000 miles with very few fuel related problems.

    springs

    Myself I'm partial to ride-rite air bags as they are easily adjusted for whatever you're carrying.

    $1.40 per litre for Diesel....WMO.

    No you will still have soot & since the IDI's have such a poor starting system I have always pulled my GP's at every oil change & cleaned the coke off them.

    $1.40 per litre for Diesel....WMO.

    Gear oil will work just fine but not more than 25% of your waste oil i.e. 12% gear 38% wmo 50% dino, this blend will work down to 30* in an IDI motor.

    waste oil truck prep?

    Towcat while I wouldn't want to disagree mine didn't "sweat" after over 4 years so maybe it only happens to certian batches of hose or if the WMO has a real high level of acid, most of my oil has come from friend semi's or the toyota forklift mech which is nice clean not even black oil.

    how much have you hauled....

    I won't claim to have "hauled" this load but I did once only hooked a chain to 7 loaded rail cars & pulled them about 250' figured out the weight at 1.3 million pounds, was nice that steel wheels roll easy on a level track.

    Taking the dye out of farm fuel?

    Just add 10% wmo & its all black then.

    WMO and Stanadyne...

    I once goofed & blended 90/10 wmo/dino & found out that at 40* or less she will "run" but wouldn't start on it, even at 50/50 the fuel is still very black & I always filtered down to 2 microns.
