Matching the viscosity of diesel fuel seems important considering injector flow. So I found an online calculator where you can mix oils and it will give you the final viscosity.
My question is, does this seem right? At around 100 degrees Fahrenheit mixing gas (.6 cSt) and 15w40 engine oil (110 cSt) would produce a final viscosity of around 40 cSt. For comparison #2 diesel fuel is around 3 cSt.
Making the wmo / gas mix 13x more viscous than diesel fuel. Is this ok? Will injectors be able to handle the difference?
