I had the pleasure of speaking with Donny last night, he owned and operated a 20 man diesel heavy truck shop for 30 years specializing in rebuilding big diesel engines.In semi retirement, on his own, he has continued at a pretty good pace,when I drop by he usually has a few big cat,cummins or detroits,of customers,on those otc stands on his shop floor in various stages,another in his hot tank,and a rebuilt one waiting to go on his own dyno outside.I have seen the huge Freightliner dealership near here,drop off a semi on a tow hook at Donny's shop for him to figure out where the Freightliner engine mechanic screwed up. Amongst many other things we talked about wmo, he said he has heard of cummins centinal program,but has Never seen one at all,including on any of his customer's engines,fleet customers to single truck own op,he also doesn't know anyone who adds wmo to their diesel in any concentration,and especially not as their primary fuel,and Donny's final comment on any of the issues of wmo for fuel was"Oh,I wouldn't do that!"
