Mixing diesel and WMO, or just dump into tank?

[Billyisgr8]

So what are you guys doing to mix together? Do you just dump in the oil into the fuel tank? Or are you pre-mixing the deisel and oil in a container first?

I just got my barrell pump and filters all ready to filter used oil and I never thought about it until right now.

Just curious what you are doing.

The set-up I chose to use for filtering the oil is a pump that puts 10psi into the barrell and it will force the oil out of the upper spout that extends right to the bottom of the barrel with a hydraulic strainer ( #100 stainless mesh) on it. Where the upper spout should be I hooked up a 150, 25, and a 10 micron filter in line. So hopefully this will work ok, pump is rated at 12 gallons per minute pumping hydraulic oil. This # is just free with no restrictions, so it will be intresting to see what the filters and thicker oil do to the flow.

I just added WMO to the tank after ensuring I had a half tank of diesel. I dont feel comfortable with much more than that.

I plan on running no more than 50/50 too.

I just tried my filtering set-up, and with the used 15-40w oil I have sitting outside in -8 weather today, It was close to 1 1/2 minutes pumping 1 gallon. Abit slow, but ohwell, atleast I don't have to do it every day.

i filter, dump it in, then fuel on top of it if possible. sometimes i mix it in a tank

I start on diesel then switch to my other tank which has the oil. I mix about 15% rug with the oil to thin it out. Cuts down on smoke.

rug????

i have a 100 gal aux tank that I fill with 100% WMO in the summer, and 75% WMO 25% #2 in the winter. In the winter I start and stop on diesel. in the summer, even with 100% WMO, it starts just fine either way.

Just filter it well, and make sure you get any water out. Usually after the aux tank is empty, I'll run through a tank of diesel with Diesel Service to "blow out" any carbon. On a side note, I get alot better mileage on WMO than I do on #2. About twice as far on a Factory of WMO compared to a factory tank of #2.

i just ordered a 275 gallon storage container for my WMO setup. i just need to figure out how to setup my filter and pump method and ill be good to go. i figure ill start out at 25% wmo to 75% while its colder and go 50/50 once it warms up and then go from there to see if it can handle more than a 50/50 ratio but i plan on always starting up and shutting down on # 2

Curiosty has gotten the best of me

If y'all are about what I think you are WMO stands for waste motor oil am I correct on that and if so this is something I have thought about from time to time because I can get a good supply of used motor oil where I work but I didn't know how to mix it or how it would work or if it would work and I haven't been able to find anyone around me that knows. I will keep watching the post on this.
Thanks

it works very well just make sure you filter down to at least 5 microns. i know some ppl heat it and then filter it and some others just filter it either by gravity or a pump set up. ive just gravity filtered so far but im tryin to set up a filtering set up. i just ordered a 275 gallon storage tank so i can really get it going.

works much better to mix before putting in truck

Blasphemy!!!!!

91 dually front tank to run on 90% wmo back tank to start on winter 70% plus diesel!

I've been known to just pour it in the tank with no filtering. The main detriment to that, I have learned, is you will periodically have to drop your tank and clean out the pickup. I only filter to 10 microns through a spin on filter that is part of my "gas station".
