I ran WMO in ratio's as high as 90% in my IDI for over 3 years starting at 180k miles on the oem pump & nozzels that were allready past time to change & put over 50k more on them before replacing them, At a savings of over $6600.00 I figure that paid for far more than a $200 IP & 8 nozzeles at $15 each leaving me a net gain of $6280 plus to the good. BTW it ran clean enough to pass the wa. emissions test with flying colors.

Update - my 2 micron fuel filter is near plugged up, took all day for about a quart of WMO to drain thru. Outside of that, 3k miles and no issues..

I've got just over 300 miles on my setup, so far running good. Smell's a bit though.

Ops,from your filtering system,can you draw any conclusions about wmo?

cut it with paint thinner or gasoline, it'll just about free flow through the filters. don't bother mixing it w/ diesel to get it though filters, it doesn't really help much.

PS. I drove 300 miles yesterday and got 34.48mpg (300miles 8.7 gal) but i also used 3.5 gallons of propane. That is 24.59mpg including propane but then again propane here is about half the price of diesel

I could hardly believe it when the trip said 300 and the gauge said well over 3/4 tank

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!"

Turns out the 2 micron filter is fine, the 10 micron filter has a glob of sludge in it.

Challenger, that is why I filter it. My dad was a truck/bus mechanic, and the two bus lines he worked for routinely dumped the drain oil into the storage tanks, unfiltered.

As long as diesel fuel is $1 a gallon over gasoline, I'll have to do this or park the truck. As reported before, the truck is much quieter and gets better fuel mileage. That should tell you something..

Cummins Abuse,sad but true,in an irreverant jesting attempt to kickstart more thought on wmo....could an In Jail smiley be created and tatooed to the sig of the admitted wmo cummins abusers for the duration of their sentence for such a heinous crime!Preferably with the Bad Boys,Watcha Gonna Do!music in the back gound.
Guys try making bio from WVO,made properly it looks like a miller beer in a beer glass,without the foam, cover it and leave it for a month it still won't have any sediment in the bottom,a clear clean product with off the charts lubricity,look after your cummins:thumbsup

I hear ya Ops,in my world plugged filters represents contaminated fuel...and fuel that passes through fuel filters and comes out black or brown is contaminated and dirty to the human eye,my opinion....believe me I feel the price at the pump as well...do you know anyone making bio from wvo,It couldn't hurt to visit and check it out,there are several good threads on this site as well

In my world, stock trucks are lame. I think everybody has got the point that you think wmo is a bad idea.

By all means then share your opinion with us,don't be shy,do you run wmo?why or why not? Is a stock 1964corvette 327 4spd fuelie convertible,black on black, lame for you as well? You know i have tried to give the odd bit of advice to people over the years on collectible muscle cars.The ones that listened did very well.The ones that didn't,now wished they did.I consider myself to have done alright as well. This truck fad thing we are going through right now reminds me of the eighties when a guy would buy a brand new black full size van put huge boots on it and have a airbrush artist paint a full size mural of a fire breathing dragon on both sides,they didn't THINK AT THAT TIME that eventually they were going to have to sell that turkey,but when they tried they found no one else shared their taste in art,for the most part you will find that lesson out with your jacked up truck with fancy wheels,smarties farties and all the rest on, is so personalized that few other than you, have your taste or want your truck,once all those add ons are passe.Have you noticed how many people are trying to buy back their stock parts on this forum?I wonder why?Have you noticed how truck prices,new and used are plummeting. I dunno I guess I just have so much to learn from guys like you and the guys burning wmo,keep up the good work
