Smile interesting

interesting post, Whitmore. Can you advise or even guesstimate how many BTU's are in diesel fuel spiked with WMO or 2 stroke oil? I guess it would depend on the mix ratio of the WMO, so lets say 20% just for simplicity. TIA

Folks get to thinking Cetane is the way to go.Sure cetane will give better results than regular diesel.However a fuel containing more BTUs like ATF or WMO mix at 20% will make it fly.For one reason lubing of IP,and injectors reducing friction,two the higher BTUs.Ever used wmo to start a brush fire?Man it gets hot enough to burn green wood.

Actully Mercedes sells a BTU improver.True Europe has the best diesel fuel considering more than half the cars are diesel.

Forget about ATF- it is not made to be burned.
Waste Motor Oil does no good on your fuel system. Contaminats (smaller than 2 microns - like soot will damage your Injection pump over time)

If you are able to say there are more BTU's in waste motor oil or ATF I would like to know the amount and the source.

Deezel Stink3r makes a great point, your releasing tons a noxious grap fumes that are no good for you or your truck, If you want more BTU's just go with WVO, its free and natural. Also your motor will puurrrrrrrrr.
