I run waste oil fuel. I clean my oil with a centrfuge and it dewaters the oil if it had any. It will clean the oil to 1/2 micron or less. Your oil will still be black but it will be clean. It will work. I mix mine 50/50 with dino. the thru a 10 mic fuel filter and a 5 mic water block (Just in case of any water) then into my truck. Have been running it this way for awhile. For 3 yrs i ran veggi till it got to hard to find here in michigan. Due to the rendering companys paying high amounts to buy the oil from the resturants. WMO still free.

This is one reason I only run gasser oil only.It takes so long for fuel tank to clean up.

Yep you can't clean the black out but the oil will be clean of debris. I switched to waste petro oil due to the fact here near Detroit, MI it's hard to find veggi oil. The big rendering companys pay high amounts for the oil. If you were to pay for the oil it's almost the cost of pump dino.

Yah, that's the problem with WVO these days. The oil companies found out that they can make money, making bio-diesel with it!

You got that right buddy! That's why I purchased a tri-fuel camp stove! wood, Coal, Gas/diesel, and I'm looking at converting it to propane as well!

God Bless!

Sgt Pruett: Just a thought with oil if I heat multi weight oil,I'll make injection thicker.So maybe I need to leave heaters off when running wmo.

How do you think it will make the injections thicker by heating? It should make the oil act thinner, no mater what the weight.
