im posting in alt fuels because honestly im just being optimistic my problem is personal stupidity and not mechanical malfunction.
background:
ive been running diesel and occasionally strait gas (usually had some diesel in the tank so i want worried and don't do it that often), when i find it ill run atf in small quantities and clean new motor oil
ive had some issues with a hard start but always runs fine once its started.
a month or so ago i began running WMO sometimes with diesel or gas but mostly 100% WMO, the truck seemed to be a tad more sluggish when the motor was cold but felt great when it warmed up, starting was no differant than before, 3-4 second crank with the gas depressed. i have been filtering to 10 microns with a water separator/block an ran aprox 80-100 gallons of WMO through the truck.
last week i was given 5 gallons of WVO, it was very clean and in a pinch i tossed it in (filtered through a screen just in case but there was no visible particles) the engine was warm already at the time and asside form smelling like i was driving a mobile french fry no change in performance. first cold start was another story, it ran on 3-4 cylinders for a few min then it was good to go. since then ive run 40+ gallons of diesel through the truck and yesterday i tossed in some diesel kleen. halfway home it started missing and loosing power so i assumed maybe i was low on fuel (i was just above a 1/8th when i checked the tank) so i stopped and added 10 gallons and away i went only to find no change. then it died. waited 10 min while looking over everything and started it up again. now i can get moving but i get a sudden surge of power then it dies and repeats, since im rolling in gear i dont have to restart since the engine is always spinning.
im curios if this is a result of gelling in the lines even tho its been a while since i ran WVO or it was pointed out maybe the diesel kleen broke residue free and is clogging the lines and injectors. all filters are new as of a week and a half ago and i have flow at the bleeder above the secondaries.
