I always have 100 gals of wmo/watf on hand.At 50% in my wmo 12 gal tank,I save a bunch.I treat it like wvo,and rinse engine out with diesel from stock tank.All my friend bring me their oils,and its from gasser's.I run black wmo from diesels in my furnace.As far as Tennessee tailgaters,they don't redneck behind me.

Head over to the dieselstop.com, read the 6.4 diesel forums and find out how well the government and big business has done with there unlimited resources. People have to have more power and epa has to have clean air, so for a large sum of money you can buy a vehicle that tells you to keep driving(even if you don't want to) so it can clean its own exhaust filter. Also this vehicle gets about half the mileage as the same model 20 years ago. So whats better? cleaner exhaust and burn twice the fuel, or more smoke and burn half the fuel.

BIG GUBMENT!

I hear these cars run well on a 50/50 mix of Dexron III and bathtub moonshine, with ATF and ball bearings in the crankcase to clean it out. You should give it a try!

Well, I'm not getting in this one way or the other but, the heavy metals that are present when burning WMO are regulated by some areas and certainly pose a REAL health issue. Not that much different then pouring BAD liquids in the ground or in the water so with that said, I'm out of this thread. Thanks

I did it once when diesel hit $4/gal I mixed 50/50. When it hit $4.50/gal I mixed 75% wmo/25 diesel. When it hit $5/gal I ran 100% wmo. I ran around 85 gallons of it. Keep in mind that I do live in Florida so it stays thin. I figured I saved over $400. The only reason I stopped is because I ran out of oil. There was some smoke at idle and it would idle so smooth sometimes I couldn't feel it running. Motor oil has lots more power than diesel. The only worry I had was it was probably around 10% synthetic and I wasn't sure it was burning 100%.
The best filter system is gravity. I Let it sit in a barrel for a few weeks then ran it through a folded over t-shirt then dumped it in the tank.
I took the $400 that I saved and bought a parts car.
I would run 50/50 without even thinking about it.
The 100% wmo could really get rid of tailgaters if you put it to the floor. lol I'm playing with tranny fluid now, I like it better.

Well greasepirate, you took it way beyond what I ever did. Thanks for posting the results of your experience with it.

As for all the pollution from burning it being as bad as pouring it on the ground, don't let me catch anyone pouring it on the ground anywhere near my place. I find it completely IMPOSSIBLE to believe that burning it is worse for the environment than pouring it on the ground so that it can reach the water table.

It seems like I remember reading somewhere that the diesels in big ships burn WMO.

The way I filter it,is to mix diesel in first.Put big magnet in the bottom of barrel. Let stand about 2 weeks or more.Then pump 6 inches off bottom to another barrel thru old sheet(double thickness). Then pump product in my filler barrel.When I pump from it to vehicles tank,it goes thru a 5 micron carbon filter.To control smoke I sometimes mix one quart turpentine to 30 gals.only at a 50% mix.
Now used aft is like 150 octane for gassers.I mean atf makes engine run good.

Nothing like creating the gradient with a centrifuge. You're doing the same thing, it's just that the centrifuge is a bit slow. The good news is that your centrifuge requires no energy.

The further good news is that unless you drive 500 miles a day, you have plenty of time to wait.

I like this method a lot because it should do a better job separating the metallic substance than I was able to do with my cloth filtering.

To me, though, it seems like it would be better to simply leave the sludge in the bottom of the barrel and pump off the upper portion with a pickup that sets 6 inches off the bottom.

If you buy a piece of equipment to do this with, there goes your poor boy savings!

If you read close I have never ran wmo in my 240d. I only ran it in my F250 for 10 months, the money that was saved was used to purchase the 240d. The 240 gets very good mileage which makes it not worth screwing with wmo when diesel is cheap. Never have worked on a Hyundai, but I do like tea. You are a perfect example of the people that stand on the sideline. Plugging up progress with sarcasm and idiotism.

I'm not the guy that's fouling the air with cancerous soot & dodging fuel taxes. Does your trunk lid say USED 5W30 AND DEXTRON III where Diesel should be? Or should it read 240death because it gives people cancer? Hint: you should probably take your used oil back to Walmart in a jug when it's out of the car so it doesn't end up in the air you breathe.

However, it's a great thing you've never worked on a Hyundai.

The neo-environmentalism here is too thick, I'm leaving the thread!

Yup.

Smells a little too smuggy for me too.

Quackatak is minding his own business. He sets a great example that many others should follow.
