I've been running WMO thru a dieselcraft centrifuge to fully polish it down to a tenth of a micron (or so they say) and then thinning it down and running it in my 07 common rail Dodge. I add about 5 gallons of this to my fuel tank, then fill with #2. My truck LOVES it. No problems in the last year of doing this.

 

Question whats your oil look like after filter and such? I would love to see your setup...

 

Do you heat it up like the guys running veg do or do you cold filter it ? Also do you run it over or through a mabnet to see if you get any metal material ? I know any metal would be small but after a while MAYBE you would see some if there were any tiny material.

 

Yes, I heat it to about 175-180 degrees F* and run multiple passes for hours at a time until there is very little cake left in the centrifuge after several cleaning cycles. I have a recirculating pump hooked to a 55 gallon drum with the centrifuge, so it processes about 50 gallons at a time. Takes a while, but makes enough fuel for 10 tanks at the rate I use it. The oil is still pretty black at the end of the process, but if you rub a lil bit of it between your fingers, you can kind of feel the difference between it and the non centrifuged oil at the beginning. Using a magnet would only remove iron bits from the oil, it wouldnt help at all for the other metal types often present in used motor oil. That is the whole point of the centrifuge. I do, however, have a few magnets in the 1 micron prefilter sock just for giggles and general purposes. I havent really noticed much in the way of build-up on them though.

 

Thanks, i was thinking about running my oil in the fuel. I already have a centrifuge all set up on a 55 gal. barrel with heaters and a p/s pump to run it. I also have a series of filters setup to polish the oil, i guess the only thing left for me to do is start burning the oil. I was burning veg for @ 70,000 miles until i lost a cyl. due to a wrist pin failure. I got a new shortblock under warranty and havent ran any veg. or other alt. fuels YET !!

 

This is very interesting. GIves me a idea after I get a diesel. THis is a good idear if done right.

 

Can you email me the plans?

Did you get the plans? If so please email to r_d@p3recycling.com.
Thanks

 

I never did get them.

 

who else is running this on their CR motor

 

alright this what i do in my 12 v cummins strain oil in a paint strainer mix it 50/50 with diesel fuel add some acetone to thin it some more and your good to goo rins l;ike a champ
