Good morning! Long time lurker, first time poster! I haven't even attempted to create a post because everything has been answered to rebuild this truck!
My father has accumulated quite a stockpile of wvo over time for his 7.3 excursion, but he mever got around to making it into bio diesel and the oil itself is older, breaking down and becoming acidic.. I know from looking around our trucks are none too finnicky about what they ingest(like me!) As long as it's cleaned thoroughly.
My diesel mechanic brother says the acid will eat pretty much anything because... its acid. How can one lower the acidity of the wvo and monitor it? As much as I like these engines, I would like to see some mileage come from my pump before it wears out.
How does one lower/monitor acid levels in oil? I've seen on a VW TDI forum a gentleman went with baking soda to lower acidity
