filtering UMO oil ( HOW )???? - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

Dear guest,
Since a year I bought a deuce and a half with a LDT-465-1C whistler multifuel.
In the last year are the fuel prices rose sharply here in the Netherlands,
€ 1,75 petrol ( gas ) € 1,48 diesel is no longer funny to drive with my truck.
I have the last week a lot of information sought about the mixing of oil and other fuels on steelsoldiers.

I have the following other members heard (read) about the mixing of:
WMO, UMO, WVO, gas, diesel, kerosine etc…..

· mix for a 100 gal batch is 30 gals of WVO, 30 gals WMO, 30 gallons straight diesel and 10 gals of regular gas.
· last tankful of Waste Motor Oil & Diesel was about 90% filtered WMO mixed with 10% diesel.
· running a 50/50 mix of WMO and diesel.
· Everybody has an a opinion on mixture, have ran 50/50 WMO/gas and had very good luck.
· 50/50 umo and deisel. truck loves it.
· run 80/20 synthetic (80 is oil).... Get a bypass filter assy from napa and pump it through at a low PSI.
· run an approximate 60/40 WMO-Diesel mix
· tanks are almost always full of 100% used oils.
· When diesel went out of sight I ran 50/50 gas and used motor oil.
· I would run 50/50 diesel and UMO or tranny fluid.
· All last winter ran mixed fuel, approx 50/50 diesel and UMO
Myself I have at my disposal oil (UMO), petrol and diesel mixed with gasoline. These fuels can get at a car garage. Could you also drive possibly on the old petrol and diesel???
What percentage will I need to save to it???
And to the mix???
I would be carefull to minimize damage to my injection pump.

The oil I get is used motor oil. This should of course be mixed well.
The information on steelsoldiers I have many filters pass. How many filters do I need to filter at and which microns???
I have the following filters to see it coming on SS: 100,50,20,10,5 and 1 micron.
What filters can I use???
And what about water in the oil??

Will you please post pictures how do you filter oil???
Thanks for your help.
Regards,

stefan

I think to save it for 50/50 to do.
50% UMO and 50% mixed with diesel and gas.
Or maybe 50% UMO and 50% gas.
Or 50% UMO and 50% diesel.

Start out with the 50-50 mix. I use a simple air operated barrel pump to push it through a 10micron filter. Some guys use a centrifuge and others use the filter bags and gravity.

ok I will start with the 50/50 mix. I want an electric pump for this use. I don’t know if it is necessary to put between 3 filters of 20,10 and 1 micron??

the more filtered the better, i also use magnets in my setup just in case, i use drip bags though. I also run a 50/50 mix and no problems yet

srodocker · 02-12-2012, 15:35

MAn good call on magnets....maybe i'll throw some old harddrive magnets down on the bottom of the barrel...

you will be surprised how much metal shavings are on them, also makes drip bags last longer as they don't imbed in the material

reom35a2fluiter · 02-12-2012, 15:44

How do your setup looks like with the magnet, So if I understand you do the Magnets in the barrel??
