Been adding filtered WMO to mu fuel for awhile now. Decided to blend prior to pouring it in the tanks. I added 3 gallons of WMO to 5 gallons of fuel last wek. I then filter the mix into my tank. Great results so far and
my fuel bill has dropped dramatically.

i have been running a little WMO in my fuel for a long time, Finally decided to up the mix to so real savings. I have been adding about a gallon to each full tank Just adding it in on top the fuel. Now that I am mixing it before I can run a richer blend . I can seee how thick the fuel is beofre I add it so I feel alot more comfortable mixing higher ratios.

Another stupid question, Do I need to run 2 cycles if I am running WMO mix? Seems like I have lubrication covered already with WMO blend.

I would agree, I figured the amounts of wmo that everyone is using has way more lubricating effect then other stuff a person was adding before. Fuel additives like Howes, Power Service, thats a little different.

When I used to work at the airport I got jet fual. it has prist in it, it kept the system clean and free from freezing, I just added oil for lubrication.

You might be careful with that.. Many claim mixin wvo and wmo causes emulsified goat vomit

I have heard that to but it worked fine in the 3-4 tanks I ran mixed in. That was a short run though.

Don`t mix WMO and WVO,3 tanks is nothing,better use WVO ONLY in hot days.
You can`t find WMO?

sometimes i run short on WMO and i have a regular supply of WVO from a resterant. hence the mixing to keep my fuel bill down, i would like to make bio but dont have the time right now to set up a reactor.

If outside temp wasn't a problem, wouldn't running wvo be better. Or does wvo coke up rings quicker??
I thought that by processing it a person would be losing a certain amount of fuel. For example, maybe, 1 gal of wvo would equal .85 gal of bio diesel:dunno
My numbers are just pulled out of thin air, I dont know if thats the conversion.

My uncle has a chinese restraunt (typical i know.) but i mixed some wvo (some fryer blend stuff) not straight corn or soybean oil and it literally looked like goat vomit. The wvo was settled and filtered. So i stick with wmo now. That was with my ooooold 91 crew dually.

mixing a little bit of wmo in wvo or vice versa doesn't typically mess stuff up.IE a gallon of WVO into a full tank of WMO won't have problems.If you try to run 25% or greater WVO into oil then have fun cleaning out emulsified sludge from fuelines,filters and what not..

in general run either WMO OR WVO not both.
