best laugh!!

I have read all 16 pages of this thread and must say it was the best laugh that I have had in a long time. I have been running WMO in my truck for well over 100,000 miles and it has never run better. I run a 2 tank system, start and get the engine to temp on diesel, then switch over to 100% filtered WMO. Then change back before stopping the engine so that the IP is full of diesel for easier start up. I run heat exchangers on the 2nd tank that heats the WMO to thin it so it flows through the IP and injectors a little more like it should.
Now, I have never replaced the IP or the injectors. But my dad has, we bought our trucks at the same time, so we have done similar miles. At around 50k he had to replace the IP and injectors, I guess you could blame that on the WMO, then at around 90k he cracked the head and filled the cylinder with coolant. Ended up with a conrod out the side of the block. Now I guess you could also blame that on the WMO too. BUT, his the closest that has truck has been to WMO is when I park mine along side. He laughed and pointed when I started running WMO, but who is laughing now?? IF my engine does the same thing, I have saved around 3 times what he has just spent on an engine rebuild. It turns out the guy who rebuilt the engine told him to run a bit of oil in the fuel to give it some lubrication. So he now runs 25% WMO filtered to 1 micron, same as I do. He just stops it in the tank and it runs just fine. The engine is noticeably quieter, runs smoother and stronger.

Now to all you knockers, dont knock it until you try it. It seems everyone here that is knocking the use of WMo has never tried it and is too scared to slop some in the tank. But you are all too quick to knock those people that are willing to try something that is a little outside the square.

The way you are carrying on about metal in the oil. GIVE ME A BREAK. Really how much metal do you think is in the oil? The way you talk I would expect my engine to be worn out after 5,000 miles. OK for the life of a motor, I would say that there would be a MAXIMUM of say a thimble full of metal wear off the entire motor, spread this thimble full of metal out over the oil changes every 5,000 miles, just how much metal do you expect to find in this oil?? I will tell you.... NONE. These so called contaminates in the WMO, they dont seem to effect the engine bearings, (which by the way are soft enough to scratch with your finger nail) so how do you expect all these nasty contaminates to effect the IP and injectors that are make out of toughened steel.

I filter down to 1 micron, when the stock fuel filter is 10 microns. So why would all these "nasty contaminates" that will freely flow through the stock filter damage my IP and injectors??


I am not saying that "this will work and it wont harm your truck" because I can't prove that. BUT in my case and my experience, my trucks runs better and has more power on WMO. With well over 100k miles i dont really care if the engines dies, with what I have saved, I can replace it 3 times over.

Remember guys... This is just my experience and opinion.
