Sparks and matches, otherwise there is no reason why a gasoline-based waste oil diesel fuel will catch on fire. No, gasoline in the blend acts as a fire starter, so it improves the combustion of the heavier oils. If you never add gasoline to your waste oil, then the sediments will never...

If you add gasoline to your waste oil prior to running it through a centrifuge, then you will not need to heat your blend to get the centrifuge to do its work, so you should not smell much gasoline when running it through your centrifuge. Additionally, if you settle your gasoline-waste oil...

Yes, I bought each of those failed IPs from the junkyard for $35ea. So, one could argue that the failures were due to the age of the IPs only; and regardless of the cause of those failures I was well ahead of the financial curve replacing them annually. Greg, myths die hard. There is...

I recently dismantled 5 dead DB-2 injector pumps from my 6.2L diesel engine, and found every one of them had a significant layer of ultra-fine particles adhering tenaciously to all of the metal surfaces inside of all of the IPs. Two IPs had broken shafts and the rest had warn out hydraulic...

Yes, I agree, a centrifuge is essential equipment, especially when burning WMO, so that the sediments are removed efficiently. Otherwise it can literally take months of settling WMO blends to get all of the sediments out, because WMO's main problem is it is a colloid of soot and motor oil...

I find blending gasoline with waste oils has many advantages. However, when blending any solvent with waste oils there is likely to be a precipitate, so it is always wise to get good at removing the light blend that floats above from the sediments that settle to the bottom. Otherwise there...
