Default Any one running WMO in their 6.5

I was wondering if anyone here was running a W85, or wmo fuel in their 6.5 and if they had any luck, or horror storries and let me know of your set up and how your processing it. I've heard its as easy (ish) as filtering it down to 5 microns. Cant stand $130 fill ups, figured i'd look into alternatives
Any info or opinions appreciated

I've tried looking into it, learned a fair amount from a psd site, a guy there was running w85 (85% waste oil and 15% regular unleaded) in his 6.0 powerstroke says he's run a few tanks through with out any issues, I figure if a 6.0 can run it fine than a 6.5 should have no problems, but still wanted more info / opinions before i take a run at it, you all seem pretty smart and well connected just seeing if you have or know anyone who has tried this

I don't see why it wouldn't work, these things will run on just about anything. I've seen a guy with a 6.0 running a 75% tranny fluid mix but never WMO. In theory it would work just the same. Only downside I can see is the potential for carbon build up. If one person on the Internet is doing it I'm sure hundreds more are doing the same.

Already figured i'd give it a shot, but it does calm my nervousness to hear from someone else it oughta work, got most every thing figured out ( oil suppler, filtration, etc.. ) still running straight diesel til i figure out why the d@mn thing didn't pass emissions, somehow doubt running on oil would help clean up my exhaust
