Remove the spin on filter, dump out the 80/20 fill it with fresh diesel, hook up a bottle of diesel to the lift pump supply, prime it and i bet it will start right up on diesel. otherwise you have a motor that wont start.

Again, thanks all for your time and opinion!

Yes, this is how to use the MMO. I'd purchase a set of heat shields, and pull those injectors with low numbers, and soak the cylinders with a full pot of MMO. at least put 6 oz in each pot, unless 6 oz fills the PC to the brim. let it sit, for at least 2 days, with the block heater plugged in. then with the injectors still out, spin the motor over until nothing sprays out of the hole. then put the injectors back together, and see what the compression reads. if it's back to the same or closer to the others, you've given your motor a bit more life. if not, then at least you tried.

if you wish to discuss WVO/SVO/Blend or anything but diesel, please start a new thread in the alternative fuels forum! That's what it's for!
I can either move all the VO discussion to that forum, or leave it here, but don't discuss it in DD! thanks!
I understand your desire to keep things on point, and from turning into a flamefest, but ignoring the WVO aspect here is sort of making believe the elephant isn't in the room....

If the Marvel Mystery Oil solution doesn't pan out, I think this is probably best addressed as a VO subforum thread....

Tks
