Yes you will go threw filters a little quicker but ill tell tpu it sure ends up paying for those filters in the same day, just make sure when you pre filter you use a fuel filter the way mine is set up I have a pump run to my filter and I have the filter on a oil relocation bracket ao i can just pull ot threw the filter and pump using a garden hose, Tranny fluid is just thinner so your pumps like it more, but motor oil and tranny fluid have about the same btu as diesel it does burn a little hotter but nothin crazy

soulds good, I just wanted to see the setup and type of pump, to see what i would need to assemble a setup.

seems mixing 50% 50% might be safer?

I only run 20% to thin it out be if i didnt have to thin i wouldnt run any, 15% can run down to 10 degree weather, oil has about the same btu so your mixing percentage doesn't make it safer nor not as safe, were do i get a pic up on here

so if u were out in the desert, you could probally run very little fule with it to thin it, and you could literally just run off of oil moter oil... thats amazing. I have had diesel equipment for years, but never knew you could do this.
not sure on the pic i only joined yesterday.....
