Today i finished my filter setup, a 50 gallon tank, with a 5 micron Hydraulic filter, and its gavity fed.. 3 gallons of oil and 8 gallons of diesel i got from a fellow scrap yard.. Boy can you tell a difference, quieter, runs smoother, no power loss and my wallet is the same weight!
I have 55 gallons of oil and 50 gallons of fuel to go through.. I say take these diesel prices and SHOVE IT!
And before i get a ""
I will get some pictures within the next couple days..
Happy day!

What about a water separater?
Eventually will do a simular setup gravity feed, 5 micron filter.
Haven't decided on the method of water removal/control yet.
Then comes figuring out how to pay the road tax on the homebrew.

Well, it was hydraulic fluid straight from a machine we scrapped, and i didn't really figure on the separation yet, but I plan on rebuilding it soon because of the slow flow rate.. So i will find a way.

Congratulations on entering the wonderful world of WMO. I just filled up last night; sitting on $200 worth of fuel for $30 invested. You will never want to go to the diesel pump again.
I am trying to get started on "Black Diesel " here in NY state. I plan on filtering to 2 microns and water separate and cut with 20% home heating oil. Question is, will it work right? I have always burnt diesel and never had any troubles, but, I can't afford any more shows and parades at $4.25 per gallon for diesel. JT out

I run almost straight used ATF in mine all summer. In the winter , I run about 20 gallons diesel, 20 gallons of used atf and about 5 gallons of gas with a couple quarts clean motor oil just for good measure!
I just use settling barrels and pump off the top. Installed jatonkas spin ons before i started running alternatives and havent had a problem.
my 2 cents says #014 viton O-ring for yer manifold heater injector nozzle. The buna-n O-ring thats standard in the fuel nozzle may disintegrate eventually with your alternative fuels mix.
You don't have to replace it, but having a 25 cent replacement piece on hand is worth it--when switching fuels causes a certain o-ring to have a high rate of failure.
You'll know you need to replace said O-ring if fuel starts to drip or puke onto the top of your turbo.
I started filtering WMO through 100 & 5 micron filters respectfully, last month. Worked my way up to 75% WMO,20% diesel & 5% gasoline for some fire and dilution. Ran pretty good, quieter, but thinking I will change my fuel filters soon, just to be safe. Last weekend (thanx to my B'day present from wifey) I now have a brand new PAbiodiesel centrifuge setup. I spunn out 50 gallons and did a 90% WMO and 9% diesel and 1% gasoline. Took the General out wheeling for the day Saturday, he ran good, slightly more "blue" smoke but ran fine. Although I just noticed a new oil leak (don't think it is related) around the slobber tube/turbo, probably need to reclamp the tube. WMO is the way to go.
Running oil in a Deuce?
