WMO that has not been thinned does not settle. If you are going to use JP-8 as your thinning agent, then I would recommend a 50% ratio, and if you do not have a centrifuge, then settling for a month to 2 months is best.

JP-8 will need some oil in it if you want your engine to last; however, it is my understanding that the military runs all of their engines in the battle field on JP-8, and they run fine on it.

Rest2, I look forward to seeing photos of your waste oil processing equipment as it evolves.

While, for a diesel engine, I would prefer alcohol-free gasoline in my blend; for a gasoline engine I am happy that alcohol is in it. Yes, alcohol in gasoline is a way for presidents to buy off the corn belt vote; however, so far it is the best octane enhancer that has been used. Previous...

Yes, kerosene works at about 40%.

Once you have blended gasoline at 20% with WMO, then leave it to settle for 1-4 weeks, then all of the water will have settled out with most of the particle load, therefore there is no reason to use a heating element. Blending diesel fuel with waste oils does almost nothing. It neither forces...

silverstate55 is right 30% is max on the gasoline, because, as 61sleepercab, pointed out, there is now alcohol in our gasoline. alcohol in our gasoline ruins the seals in old engines, like the multifuel. Yes, you can burn waste motor oil in almost any turbo-equiped diesel engine. The trick...

This seems like sound advice, reset2. I mostly make my DIY diesel fuel out of WVO, but much the same way you make your WMO diesel fuel, except I find I only need to settle WVO-gasoline bends for about 1-2 weeks. I am still making fuel in the 5 gallon buckets it comes in after 7 years. I have...

A BS in Chem and conducting pyrolysis in an industrial park, or farm, or ranch, are recommendations, they are not a requirement for membership on the forum or sharing, or engaging in pyrolysis. Others are doing various forms of pyrolysis in residential neighborhood, and have no formal science...

Yes, I have done it, and others are working on it. You will have to take the WMO up to 800F to properly distill it. Here is a link to a forum that discusses it, if you are interested. http://beyondbiodiesel.org/forum/index.php/board,19.0.html

I agree with much of what oddshot had to say, but we have to keep in mind that the test was conducted in 1998, long before anyone was blending solvents with waste oils, so much has been learned since. However, I also agree with him that in light of new developments in waste oil processing, and...

Thanks, Rod, yes Sedona is beautiful and there are 4 national forests within 50 miles, and within 100 mile radius the elevation changes from 1200feet to 15000 feet. All good places to explore with a deuce.

This is an object lesson of put it in all-wheel drive before entering the hazard, not after. I did about 2 years of archaeology for Boeing along the US-Mexican boarder. We were all equipped with 4x4s. I was the only one who always put it in 4x4 before getting off road; and I never got stuck...

I really appreciate this forum, because I can search it for whatever restoration project I am involved with on my M756A2. My truck came with no windshield wipers at all, and only one wiper nut, which was not useful. So, I ordered a set of new wiper arms and blades. I have found installation...

It is a 1969 M756A2 kaiser pipeliner. I did not know that there were even different 1" shackles ie. "round ones that lay flat on the front bumper.' I am not big on authenticity. I am more interested in functionality. On the other hand, if I can get authenticity & functionality for the same...

OK, so today I learned that my M756A2 has 1" Airlift d-ring Bumper Shackles on the front, and 7/8" Airlift d-ring Bumper Shackles on the rear. Is this normal for a deuce, or an M756A2 thing? PS: I did search the forum first.

I had no problem registering my M756A2 as a historic vehicle here in Arizona, so welcome. I use Jacks and Alpha Tread in Tucson for the things that I need for my deuce.

Just thought I would put in the link, since I am in the middle of doing this to my M756A2 TM9-2320-361-20.pdf

Sorry to revive an old thread, but reading through it was very informative. I have owned a Chevy Sport van (G-20) with a 6.2L diesel engine in it, and a full-on fuel making factory mounted to its bumper. It has had to be towed about 3x/year, and I had AAA the whole time, and only one driver...

Thanks for the suggestions. I had a heck of a time getting the old lower hose off of the radiator, so carb cleaner would have made that job easier, if I knew the trick. But carb cleaner is an organic solvent, and using an organic solvent on a new radiator hose, which is designed for water and...
