Same as I posted on another forum:

I have delved into WMO. I was able to score about 130 gallons (55 gal drums) of WMO and about 55 gallons (11 5 gal buckets) of farm diesel through a friend of a friend. All free. That's right, even the farm diesel was free. The farm diesel was drained from his tractor because it had some water in it. Well, Water is not hard to get rid of.

Anyways, since I scored that this weekend, I quickly came up with a way to start filtering it. I have a parts donor truck (93 C3500) from which I puled the lift pump, fuel filter manager, and lines before and between. I have this setup laid on top of a few buckets and it is pumping from one bucket to another, while filtering and hopefully removing some water also.

I do not have a spare 12v vehicle battery, but what I do have is a good not-being-used UPS (uninterruptible power supply). I removed the back cover and affixed connectors between the UPS and it's internal battery and connected it to the lift pump. The UPS should be able to keep that little battery (12V7AH) charged during and after pumping.

I am not making any special means of pressurizing it, the only pressure in this temporary setup is whatever pressure is behind the filter.

When I get time, I will be making a better pump for the oil using a 1/2HP (i think) floor fan motor and the hydroboost power steering pump, also from my donor truck.

So far, everything that I have in this (excluding electricity, and diesel cost for transport) has been free. So assuming that I don't have to buy any filters and only have to buy 20 gals of RUG, this should equate to 30.2 cents per gallon. Assuming that I'd have to buy 5 filters and 20 gals RUG would make it 79 cents per gallon. That sounds nice!

 

You can call me the headmaster of jeali school. Good deal, let us know how the result is and maybe mileage if you get around to it.

 

I was getting about 16-17 mpg on this setup making sure to utilize my lead foot. Light on the throttle, I would get about 23-24 mpg.

I have since pushed the engine beyond its limits (with a little bit of screw up on my part) and broke it. Crankshaft is now in 2 pieces. I believe whole-hearted that the WMO was NOT the cause for this. I believe that it broke due to my quest for more power and not knowing when to stop. I had advanced my timing too far, which moved my power band too high in the rpm range. I also turned boost up to 16 psi. All three factors come in to play at the same time, and it was too much for the stock crank.

I'm working on saving up funds to fix it, but I probably wont get to it til spring. I will not buy some stupid crazy expensive crank. I will buy a remanufactured stock crank, retard the timing a bit and limit my revs to about 3200 rpm, not 3600.
