    The Epic Separation

    Made it to post falls. Lost a wiper, found it on the hood latch! 27mph up every pass! Ran over 6 mice. 6.79mpg so far 2 bottles of water, hand full of sour patch kids, a croissant and a salad. No casualties. Hid lights are a huge help. More to come later.

    Those pics didn't help, I need an arrow pointing to the correct one to turn. They say how much to turn, warning and the like. I need to know which one to turn.

    diesel secrets

    WMO will produce less power and MPG than diesel in our trucks. There are other threads on here where members reported the exact thing you have described on here. They went to WMO and noticed a reduced amount of power, switching back to diesel and the power returned. I don’t think it is the...

    diesel secrets

    I don't think the viscosity has anything to do with performance unless it’s so thick it can’t be pumped. Sure, to reduce pumping loss, I can imagine in a lab of some sort you could measure the amount of difference it takes for a thicker vs. thinner fuel. But I don't think there is an optimum...
