I wouldn't run black diesel thur my 2008 F-250 6.4

 

Well you most probably do not run any alternative fuels on your engine. I would not either.

My 30 year-old vehicle cost me $1200 6 years ago. It is still running. If I replace it, I do not expect to buy a vehicle newer than 10 years old, because I see no point in running garbage-based fuel on a new, or expensive engine.

 

we ran it through our cummins big cams when I was working at ranger. we wouldn't even try to run it on the newer detroits and cats we had.

black diesel works good on the older enginges, the idi fords, the 7.3l powerstrokes, mechanical injected cummins and the older gm diesels. I would not run it on 99 newer dodges, 03 newer fords or any duramax.

those are just my opinions.

And as always, have nice day

 

Thanks for the useful information. I am on a GM diesel forum that has had a long discussion of burning WMO. Some of them had not trouble some of them, like myself, had no end of trouble burning WMO in Detroit Diesels. It turns out that everyone who had no trouble burning WMO in Detroit Diesels had a turbo charger; while none of those who had trouble had a turbo. So, aside from making sure the WMO is ultra-filtered, I think a turbo is a must.

 

Filtrated and the big part is no water mixed in. Depending on who you get your oil from you may wan't to ask if any oil had water in it.... I'm sure diff fluid and motor oil goes in the same barrel and from a bunch of 4X4 truck there has to be some water in it from going over the vent lines. From experience my old 2000 F150 with 35" Super Swampers had water over the hood or almost up to the windows every other night of the week in my non married days...the good old days as I like to call them now. So water in the diffs was a common occurence back then and I know for a fact that shops that changed it didn't separate it from the clean oil they changed. I haven't run much motor oil through my truck but do mix 2 stroke outboard oil and it seems to like it. Most outboards run at a 50:1 ratio and still smoke but I have run my 03' 7.3 down to a 10:1 ratio and there is no difference in smoke at all. Guess 400 lbs of compression takes care of the smoke department.

 

I just blend gasoline with my waste oils and find the water and radiator fluid just precipitate out by the next morning.

 

 

so what kind of filtration does a guy really need to make this work out could you just pump it through one of those filters you put on your transfer tank or do you need something more serious

 

Most of the people who I have read run WMO without problems, blend with gasoline first, then settle it for a month, then hyper filter it to 1-micron, and/or use a centrifuge. Myself and one other person who have experimented with it extensively have found that once it has been blended with gasoline at 20%, then left to settle, it takes about a month for all of the sediments to settle out. After that it may not need much filtering, but I hyper filter all of my waste oil fuel blends to 1-micron, and centrifuge.

 

so where do you get a centrifuge and can you get a fleet guard spin on filter one micron or is the one micron a special deal to?
