Can't speak from personal experience (yet) but I'd vote for ATF. A buddy of mine dumps hydraulic fluid in his tank when he services tractors. (As long as its clean-ish) He drives a powersmoke though... Seems to work fine. He used to run lotsa ATF until his source retired.

Happy Tinkering And WMO Burnin'

If you really want to talk about this come by my house in Crestview. But in my opinion "they" only let us "feel" like we "enjoy our firearms".
U Ohhh a that so you get a chance to use ur “protection rifles” agghhh I’d have 15 ar’s too if they let me but I’m like one of the extremely rare people in Australia that can even own 2, very very strict licensing laws here, although with all the changes in the world it has definitely in my honest opinion stopped idiots n cowards killing people in the streets. We’ve had a lot of riots n half ass attempts here since the new laws and there just doesn’t seem to be a black market full of decent guns here so its def done its intended job. A aussy had to move to NZ to go nuts with a gun n noooooow they don’t have semi’s any more either!!!!,

Antarctica! Sure you'll freeze to death, but at least you'll die free. I really want to say what's on my mind but I'll just agree with the apostle John, "even so, come Lord Jesus!" Revelation 22:20
Annnnd that’s why I was saying Ukraine, Antarctica is way too cold heck even NZ is too cold, at least in Ukraine Russia is providing free fires to keep ya warm,

I dont hold a grudge... much... haha ausy is always steeling stuff from across the ditch or we just follow our big brother lol.
I was just about to get an AR then Tarrant did the deed. Pain in the ****. About the best part of living in nz is that every animal is just about a pest and is fair game and crown land is never far away to go shoot on

And yes we do steel plenty or concrete labourers(steel fixes) and meat workers from across the ditch, they seem extremely keen and competent and working with sheep

Antarctica, shoot all the penguins you want just before you freeze to death while being free!

I can get almost anything in good volume, whats the general consensus among you all that have been burning oil in ur rigs on which waste oil makes the best fuel. WMO, hydro oil, gear oil, atf, is one better than the other. I’ve heard additives are bad synthetic is bad wmo is bad cause of carbon etc etc etc but I also hear all of it being used as it all obviously burns well, buuuuut is one better than the others?????
My plan was to run an idi in my F150 ... never found one to sling in there but did wind up buying a written off 02 Super duty with the 7.3 psd which i repaired over time and managed to get it back on the road. I've got just over 4000km running it on used transformer oil which i prefilter with an old milk filtration system with no issues so far apart from fouling up the in tank filtration system on the truck.... who knows how much crud was in there first though?. Deleted the filters from inside the tank and now run a frame mounted fuel
filter and housing. I've noticed no extra smoke and if anything it has a slight increase in power/torque. On a trip i'm getting 11 litres per 100km (Just over 21 US mpg or 25.5 mpg Imperial) ...... we don't talk about round town or towing economy among us civilised types.
I built a centrifuge out of a torque converter and mounted it in an old wringer washing machine bowl - it does work but i'm worried about fine particulates scoring the injector barrels in the psd , i've purchased plans for a mini refinery to extract the diesel from waste oil but haven't found time to build it yet.... i have over 5000 litres of waste oil stored in the back shed for later lol.

Lately i've been wondering about waste fuel - here , as i imagine everywhere there are always those who put diesel in their gas tank or vice versa ..... given that petrol boils well under 100 deg c , i've been thinking about collecting some of that fuel mix and giving it a go. Low cost and should be easily controlled with a rudimentary thermostat and a small cooling tower to condense the gases through a bubbler.
