o1951, You already paid for the registration and the plate for your truck. The plate tab is the tax the State charges to drive on any public road..The fuel tax differs from State to State since each State has their own programs being paid by the extra tax charged per gallon of fuel.

I hear ya Blind Driver, The sites I have already reclaimed myself have already been tested and they are not in use. The PCB's PPM count was virtually non existent. I thought I already posted that. I am still hot on ATF since there is a large supply to collect anyway.

I just looked up the Michigan laws regarding home made diesel fuel. In Michigan there is no law for private use. There are plenty of laws for fuel blenders for the people who SELL the fuel for profit, but if you collect oils and make your own fuel for private use there is no law on the books...

Tricks and Traps of Oil Reclamation Ecological conservation and environmental concerns have become a much greater influence in production facilities around the world in recent years. Progressive action can also be found in the heart of major industrial operations such as steel mills, paper...

If it makes anyone feel any better Mineral oil is clear without any red dye. So if you mix it with diesel you are still green on any dip stick. Today we are collecting at the first site then Sunday the next. I have a job during the week so the only way for me to collect in the daylight is on...

Not to pick on Kansas but, I have read a few threads on how they don't like MV,s and some are illegal to park in town. Thanks for the intel Dave..!

WOW sounds like KANSASS is strict. I did some checking around and there is no issue around here. Whats the big deal anyway...? Sounds like you got pulled over and harassed. I was going to try a diesel/mineral oil blend in a MEP003 to see how well it runs. In Kansas is there an issue with power...

Mineral Oil... A few months ago I contacted the local utility maintenance division. I made a good contact with the reclaim\demolition department. They told me there were several old transformer sites slated for demolition. Today I got the call......!!!!! I was given a list of 5 sites to go...

Is Diesel help the same as 911..? If it is that's a good additive to keep the system from gelling in extreme cold.

The only reason I use 20w50w is, I got a few cases free from a friend of mine. 2 stroke oil is better in my opinion, I just am using up what I had for free. The diesel fuel properties nowadays is not the same fuel we had back when the CUCV was made. IMHO any oil is good oil in the fuel.

Your CUCV is like mine a 6.2 non turbo stock dog. I think its prudent to burn straight diesel with a quart of 20-50 motor oil for lubricating the IP. There is really no way to turn our engines into a multi fuel.2cents

Remounted Fuel tank and Fuel seperator/pump. At first I was happy the tank and the fuel separator fit in the box with the tailgate closed. Then I was rethinking the whole thing. I took a good look at the 308 gallon fuel tank. Originally there was a Cat 250Kw generator mounted to the fuel...

If you live in Washington State this PDF is a good source for free oil. The PDF has the address and locations for the collection centers.

I finally got around to mounting a 308 gallon fuel tank in the back of the A3. I bolted with oversize washers and double nutted the bolts through the bottom. Grade # 8. I mounted the fuel pump on the back and bolted it the same way. I still have to plumb it with a 3 way ball valve for the...

Picked up more ATF today..! I really like the pick up system I came up with. The red pump on the blue 55 gallon barrels is pumping into the transfer tank on the back of the A3. Its a 12v standard gasoline / diesel fuel pump with a 10 micron filter. The transfer tank on the A3 has a 12v pump...

My 1st stage is in a 180 gallon filtered transfer tank. When I get a full load of atf its pre filtered before going into the transfer tank. The filter on the pump is a 10 micron. I reset the fuel pump meter to all 000's then place the nozzle in the fill cap. I let pump run until I get to 800+ on...

Used Oil is becoming a huge problem in our society. Waste Oil is a problem that we all can take part in resolving. Refining Oil into diesel is a great way to give back to the community. Oil recycling, by using our new system, can generate usable diesel that many people still need and consume. We...

I was poking around on the INTERNET and found these 2 web sites useful. WasteOilDiesel.com - Used Oil Recycling Waste Oil Into Usable Diesel Simple Centrifuge ...putting a centrifuge in every garage!

Looks like Blind Driver is covered as well. SWEET set up man.[thumbzup] How does that centrifuge work out for ya..? Can you explain how your system is set up..?:popcorn:

Sounds to me your covered. Post some pics when you set it all up. BTW, hope you have a good way to move those heavy tanks around..!
