So far I have about 250 miles on 50-66% WMO in my 6.9 IDI, seems to run better than on #2 diesel. I do have the heavy gagging smoke at startup/idle.
I had one scary moment where I was accelerating from a stop and all of a sudden the engine seemed to be struggling, and my EGT was up about 200 degrees from the maximum I usually see, but after easing off throttle for 10-15 seconds the EGT dropped back to normal and the usual level of power seemed to return. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Maybe the blend is settling in the fuel tank?
Where are you guys finding 2 micron water filters? At Menards and TSC where I have purchased filters, they lowest they have is a 5 micron.
