I need to retest it with actual diesel. I tested it against some red diesel, or heating oil, but it had been in a tank for a long time and had some algae and it ran kind of funky in my car. I got my centrifuge and made a batch up of 50% wmo and 50% this oil/mineral spirits I got. It runs extremely well and actually has cleaned my injectors and completely shut up the nailing that was going on. It's insane how quiet this thing is now. I did clog up the primary(little plastic) filter with crap after about 500 miles and 20 gallons though. I'm not sure if the contaminent is
1. Stuff directly from the fuel since I was running the centrifuge at the wrong flow and it wasn't getting near full speed.
2. Crap that has been gathering in the tank from the dino that the mineral spirits loosened up(fuel was hot when I put it in there too)
3. Algea crap from the heating oil.

I ran it all through a filter sock before and after the centrifuge, but it wasn't super fine. I be getting a 5 micron sock I'm going to pump through after I run this next batch to see if I'm clean or not. It's a little stinky so I'm gonna mess with mix levels after I get the pyro in it. The oil source says it may be much higher spirits content than he originally thought so I want to make sure I'm not cooking stuff or preignition issues.
