over the pond in the uk there are a huge amount of vehicles that will run on wmo really well, over the years I have run many of my vehicles on it usually straight out of the sump of cars from the scrap yard, what I found was the only bad thing was smoke on idle and poor cold starting, Now I own a small 1.5 liter diesel rover metro it has a heated fuel filter housing as standard and has responded well to 100% wmo apart from cold starts and smoke on idle, could this be due to water within the oil, I have been filtering it through a standard diesel filter from another vehicle but dont do any blending or de watering, I have been doing this with great success and no issues as of yet with filters plugging. I have being trying to get my head around why people tend to heat a huge barrel of oil to evaporate the water, would it not be better to heat a small amount of oil rather than a huge mass. my plan is to gravity feed oil across an old george foreman grill and then into a 6 gallon bucket and then filter and blend small batches of w85 in 6 gallon containers. the reason for such small productions are because the care averages around 55mpg and a single tank full per week will be ample, also uk laws prohibit me making 50gallon batches, I also have to pay fuel tax for what I use and produce, any input from some of the wmo experts on here would be greatly aprietiated
