Like a lot of people here are wanting to run a Cummins on high volumes (greater than 5%) of WEO which is not suggested.

Like myself I'm running 0.7% of 2 cycle oil in my fuel (128:1 Ratio).

20:1 Ratio = 5% Volume = 224 Ounces (1.75 Gallons)
128:1 Ratio = 0.7% Volume = 35 Ounces (Basically 1 quart of WEO to a tank of fuel... More realistic!)
200:1 Ratio = 0.5% Volume = 22.4 Ounces
