I was down to half tank of mixed MO and fuel oil, which seemed to run reasonably well. Yesterday on the way to work I decided to top off the aux tank with fresh diesel. I put about 25 gallons of diesel into my 50 gallon tank. Drove it about 150 miles and all seemed well until I noticed that the cap on the rear tank was leaking diesel onto a fella's driveway. I decided that I needed to run that tank down a bit so I put 100 miles on that tank just to lower it until I could get home and replace the cap. Then I went back to MO and it seemed to run well on that mixture.
I don't know what kind of mileage I'm getting since I don't have a gauge on the tank and could not tell how much I had put in compared to how much I had driven.

I have also noticed that since I have been running more diesel with the MO, that the EGT is back down to normal temps.

I'm now looking for that sweet spot and will try to operate in that area from now on.

I hadn't tried adding MO. So I'll give it a try that way. I do know that there are problems with 100MO, which is why I have been backing down, rather than going forward.

I still don't know what I'm going to do with the fuel oil I have.
