What are you guys using to filter your Waste Motor Oil before you put it in your tank? I assume you are filtering before you put in your tank.

Also, how much are you running per tank? Would 50% WMO 50% diesel be alright?

Pics of your filtering setup would be great.

Thanks for any info,

ehhhh 50% is kinda high for the newer trucks. If you had a mechanically injected 12 valve - no problem. You might try just 2 gallons or so and make sure your truck can handle it. Then gradually increase the percentage of WMO versus diesel fuel until you get to a point where you feel the power or driveability become worse. Just my 2 cents. Your results may vary.

I am filtering mine thru a 1 micron "filtersock" made for biodiesel refining. These are available for sale on Fleabay. Search some of the WMO threads - there are some pics of a setup some forum member built using PVC and some spin-on filters and water separator.

Are you just running WMO & D2? Any WVO with that? I'm running 50 50 WVO with D2. As soon as I add WMO I start having problems.

Are you running a stock pump? Using a fuel pressure gauge? Factory lines?

Been there, done that. Nothing but trouble. Unless you try the centrifuge purification method, The string process and tp process do not work. The particles get through and plug up your fuel filter after a tank or two.

If you use a magnet in the stream and prevent water entering, I don't know it can hurt anything as the lubricity is fantastic, but it also may coke up your injector tips with deposits. I fooled with this on an engine I hated. I would absolutely not do it on my truck after my (big waste of time) experience.

I don't think you have a cat, but if you did, the zinc in the oil would ruin the cat in short order. I think the only real application for burning wmo is on older mechanical diesels with large tolerances. Like on my old excavator, the factory fuel filter looks like a lawn mower filter. It only has a screen. So I am guessing it could survive it, but that's just a guess. It smells TERRIBLE.

But perhaps there is better information since I played with it. Good luck either way.

How are you mixing your wvo with your diesel? Do you heat it anyway? I got a small supply of wvo that I want to mix up for my 85 vw diesel instead of wmo and start useing the wmo in my 90 powerstrock box truck. as soon as I get a fuel gauge and and some more test I will try the 99 cummins on wmo since it seems easier to get.

Here's the rig I use, a 10 micron Goldenrod fuel filter with a 2 micron fuel filter after it. I have a big magnet stuck on the bottom of the 2 micron filter housing.



So far, black oil in is brown coming out. It takes a couple of hours to run 5 gallons of waste oil thru it on a warm day.

Truck seems to run fine after 1k miles.

Hey Ops,

That's what I wanted to see, good setup.

What percentage WMO/diesel are you 00running?

Oh, and where did you get the goldenrod filter?

The Goldenrod filter came from Tractor Supply. I'm running about 20% WMO/80% #2.
