    Correct, because there can be liquids that are also precipitates, such as water, or radiator fluid, or tar, so the sediments need to be separated from the uniform solution that floats on top. There can even be contaminants that float on top, so you have to pay attention to the fuel that you are...

    Good to hear you are going to try the gasoline blend idea. I assume you mean by 30% the 70% will be diesel fuel. I think that is a really wise, and cautious way to explore waste-oil-gasoline blends; however, there is a relationship between any waste oil and gasoline that should be maintained...

    No, you want any precipitates to form, so that you can remove them. After removal there should be no more precipitates; however, it takes about 2 weeks for all precipitates to settle out from WVO-gasoline blends. It takes about 2 months for all precipitates to settle out from WMO-gasoline...

    I am not supprised that you found no change running 25% gasoline to WMO on your diesel genset. Like Iceman3005, I filter down to 1-micron all of my blends, but after settling. I found even after a week of settling, then filtering to 1-micron, a centrifuge still pulled almost a full bowl of...

    I am not surprised that you had trouble running 70%wmo to 30% #2diesel on a 6.2. You will find that 20-30% gasoline, or 30%-50% kerosene to WMO will work better. Also, WMO tends to be very dirty, so I recommend blending, then settling it for at least a month to 2 months, or run it through a...

    Gasoline is an excellent anti-gel. It was 12F this morning, when I checked my fuel blend in clear containers, my blending/processing tank, and the deuce fuel tank. The fuel was liquid with no sign of gelling.

    I have been running a 6.2L diesel engine on 20%gasoline to 80% WVO for 7 years. I have started it on that blend when the temperatures were at 0F (-18c), with no block heater. It ran fine. Two days ago I started my 6.2L diesel engine on that blend when the temperatures were 20F (-6.7C). It...
