I'm waiting for the home water filter setup to come in the snail mail. It's a 3 stage 20-10-1 micron. I got several old computer hard drive magnets that i'm going to use to pull metal particles out.

a guy I know used it and everytime he thought it was right he would dump it in the truck and within minutes it would clog up his injectors and the truck would fart out. I say no way!

And how about all the metals that are not magnetic? Like how about aluminum, brass, etc...

One of the nice things about WVO or Bio is they hardly ever add lots of metal particles to it,at least not at the greasy spoons I frequent

The biggest contributing element in all the oil analyst that's I've seen so far is iron.

My buddy just ran 600 miles from Michigan to Mrytle Beach, on one tank, burning used trans fluid in his 03 with no issues. There was about 30 gallons of trans fluid and the rest was diesel fuel. He filtered it using a Culligan 3 micron water filter. The only difference was it smoked a little bit more than normal. BTW, the truck is bone stock.

Well I got to thinking a little bit more about doing it on the dodge and was wondering if anyone knew if it would be possible to just put an orifice thing on the fuel line, fill the regular tank with diesel and a 55 gal drum with the filtered oil and have the orifice do all the mixing work..?? Would really be nice to have a variable one in the winter, have it turned down to 5% oil or something.. BUT, would the viscosity difference mess the orifice all up? I am not sure if viscosity matters with orifices or not, never really played with them, but it seems like it would be an issue to me, anyone know for sure?

ISX, the only way an orfice works at metering is if your pressure, density, viscosity are static. That's how you determine the size of orfice needed to allow X amount of flow with Y pressure while using Z fluid. Anytime you change one, the flow through the orfice will also change.

The setup i'm working on is a 60' ish gallon truck bed tool box that i'm sealing up and making an aux tank. The clean filtered WMO is going to be pumped into this tank with a 1" drain on the drivers side under the bed. Put a 5 Gallon can under the drain, open ball valve, fill up. Then dump that into the tank via the Fuel filler.

My original plan was to put a pump on the WMO aux tank through a metering device, however all the metering devices start out at $99.99. I'm not going to spend $100 on a device that i can do the same thing with a 5 gallon bucket. I only fill up about once a week anyway. It allows me the same control at metering/mixing the ratio of WMO/D2.

I thought that was how it worked, but wasn't sure.. I guess I'll stick with the buckets..

anyone know if a charcoal filter will take out the ash and stuff in the oil? and I think im gonna get a series of magnets and let thim sit in the oil for a while and take out all the metal particles. hell after all that it should be like new oil lol

I actually attached the magnets to the side of the filter assembly on all three stages. If the particles are too far away from the magnet, it won't be attracted by the magnetic flux lines.

How about all the other metals in the oil that are NOT MAGNETIC!!!

Brass, aluminum, copper, lead, tin, nickle, zinc, etc... How do you plan on removing those metals??? This is what they call ASH!

Now how do you plan on removing all the soot out of the oil too???
