just an update for anyone who might care. I have run a 50/50 mix of Diesel/ Bio-Diesel and WMO,WTF. I have had no problems at all truck runs just as it used to. No excessive smoke or anything like that. I add 15% of Gas to My WMO. Then 50-50 mix it with the reg fuel in a settling tank. I let any water and crap settle out for about a week and drain out whats needed. Then filter through 5 micron filter. I will update after 5K Miles and that will be soon seeing how much Im driving!

hey chevyman what kind of filter and housing are you using I have a 1/2 X 12 thread filter housing and the best I have found for it so far is 10 microns nothing smaller I have the tank all set up except for a fitting or 2 I will be using Compressed air to push it through the filter and I will be able to do 20 gallons at a time after draining the water off am st contemplating adding a water separator pre fuel filter

OK I have an update on my filtration unit for WMO that I am building I had my NAPA guy doing most of the figuring for me on the filter and housing I have a Cat style 5 micron filter will have the part #s later but I will pick them up next Friday on half price filter day filter and housing for a little over $20 and I think that $20 should cover the rest of the materials involved Minus my holding tank

Filtration should be good but I would seriously dilute the oil with diesel so as not to cloud the optic sensor.

Not on a 93,was going off your sig that said 94-with a 93 you should be able to burn the clean oil with less diesel.
