how many rags do you carry in the trucks for shut down!

[TrailTamer]

You guys are way over thinking this just filter it and run it you will be fine. We have been doing it for many many miles and thousands of gallons in 3 vehicles with not one problem. But I know how you engineers think if you can't put it on a excel spread sheet and calculate the results you don't feel comfortable   

I rather to be over filtered than under filtered my WMO, but the thing is, you cant filter too much!

When I google for more info on WMO, I commonly find myself in ford forums as they still have lot of good info.

I think he's referring to a runaway that Nick had - but that's 110% unrelated to fuels for several reasons.
- runaways are from oil into the intake generally from a failed turbo seal
- nasty fuel will fuck your pump and injectors, your turbo will never know.
- the equipment runs pump fuel, not found fuel.

there is a time and a place for bushmechancry, and a time not. 



with that said, my next cummins will be an old beater that runs on shop oil lol

None of my equipment will ever see veggy or wmo

Little bag filters and buckets are annoying, getting stuff together for the 55 gallon drum.

This is something I started to think about today. Sounds like he's discussing using WMO in small diesel engines. I think the environmental argument is probably kind of a wash, who knows what "recycled" really means. But the potential for emissions that could cause long term health effects has me a little concerned. Particularly heavy metals everyone claims are in WMO.

Paranoid? Has anyone seen any hard emissions data from doing this?

Guess I should make clear that I realize the amount of shat dumped into the atmosphere on a daily basis from all the stuff we do as humans in an industrial world. I'm talking about being in close proximity of smoke from stuff burning that isn't meant to burn and could be harmful.

There's tons of shops out there who burn their waste oil in the oil furnace to heat their shop. It's not like you're the only one who polluting the atmosphere. Those shops probably burn significant more oil than I burn in a year. I'm not saying its ok to pollute but it's still a way to recycle the WMO.

whats the difference between buring oil and waste oil?

the furnace at my parents house is form the 50's and burns oil like a Kuwait oil fire

Not exactly sure. Additives in motor oil?

[mr.mindless]

the additives is what the guy in that post was concerning himself with.

breathe deep? I'll pass. The smell is actually why I passed Brett the other day and led our way to the Pines instead of falling in at the convoy tail, but I wouldn't concern myself too much. The particulate matter that's in all pre-emissions diesel exhaust is supposedly a carcinogen already anyway.

[Harrison]

Granted it was unloaded and 30%WMO, but I had a friend behind me leaving work the other day and inquired about any smell, he said not noticeable. It might be interesting to see if I could get it tested somehow, I enjoy seeing hard data after reading so many claims on the Internet.

Closing in on 500 miles on this tank, gauge is reading a little under 1/4. Sweet. Dumping 15 gallons in with this fill up. This could become cheaper to run than my car, even running 50/50.

I'd like to get the timing advanced, I've read that really wakes these up, helps lower EGTs, and helps reduce smoke when running WMO.

Picking up a drum tonight hopefully, should have my fancy batch processor up and running sooner than later!
