The other things to keep in mind are: 1] there is always a precipitate formed after blending petroleum distillates with WVO. 2] A drop in temperature can result in more precipitates formed, so be prepared to trap and drain sediments from your fuel system. 3] A turbo-charger is critical equipment...

The problem with stale gasoline is the alcohol that might be added to your gasoline, typically at 10%, does not evaporate as much as the light petroleum fractions do. Consequently the alcohol content in stale gasoline can be significantly higher. So, I recommend not using stale gasoline over...

If you are only interested in increasing the lubricity of ULSD diesel, then probably 10% waste oil would provide all the lubricity needed to compensate for the loss of lubricity in ULSD diesel fuel.

Interesting. I have been in dialog with waste oil burners for over 10 years, and have never heard of this issue. What I do hear is WATF and waste hydraulic oil (WHO) are best to burn on a diesel engine, because they do not require heating or blending to run as fuel, they just require...

It depends upon how you run it. Presumably you are going to blend it with a petroleum distillate. If you are blending with ULSD diesel fuel, and running it on a vintage diesel engine, then I would not run any greater that 50% ULSD diesel fuel, because I have found that ULSD diesel fuel over...

TM on ratios to use in a fuel max? I would like to see that if you can recall the number or a link.

That explains why your WMO does not leave behind sludge when blended with WVO. Black over burned WMO, which is of the WMO I see will lay down a 2" thick rubber-like mat of sludge at the bottom of my settling buckets after being blended with WVO.

I am surprised that your combo blend has not lead to gooping up your entire fuel system, IP and injectors, because blending WMO with WVO will typically result in producing a very sticky tar-like substance. So, after doing so to my diesel vehicle several times before I realized what was going...

Since 2008 there has been a great deal more exploration of burning waste oils in diesel engines. It turns out that WATF is the good stuff that many want to burn, because it will burn in most diesel engines without thinning or heating or modification. WVO, on the other hand, can be burned...
