can you mix WATF and WMO? cause at work it all goes into the same container. I also had a pretty good malfunction with the WMO (totally my fault), I ran it at a 50 50 in my 6.0 psd, for 2 tanks and now issues, ran great, then I filled er up on an incline with the WMO, and ended basically fillin her up with about 90% WMO, well I went on a trip into the mountains to burn some of it off so I could mix in some more #2 and even though it was warm out I blew 3 injectors! I also found out another fun fact, (it takes alot of flushing to get WMO out of your tank and lines)as I emptied out the tank, filled her up with #2 ran it emptied it out again, changed filters filled it up ran it, emptied it out one more time and another set of filters, the fuel still had a grey hue, the tech said i got a bad batch of fuel but still covered it under warrenty (whew)! anyway now since I got her back I am keeping it down to no more than a 25% mix and she has been rockin ever since.

Yeah but you have an IDI hes got a 6.0 ...

Sorry for your bad luck but glad to hear a 6.0 is running on 25%.

Your original question though...yes youcan mix watf(waste automatic tranny fluid) and wmo(waste motor oil) HOWEVER as I have stated MANY times in the past on here. Filter filter filter before you use any wmo--no matter what the source. Rather over filter before use than have to clean all the mess up after the fact.
for instance-- friend of mine bought new house filters to filter a few hundred gallons of wmo he scored. In his haste(he already had an old filter setup) the new filter housings dont come with filters installed. Soooo instead of the 20 mic to 5 mic filtering he was used to the two new water filter housings(empty) pumped 20 gallons into his 01 psd unfiltered... what a mess.
to avoid such things i had suggested always for him to filter into a container first then pump into your fuel tank. His effort to bypass a step to save a little time cost him a lot of headache and effort as well as frustration.

Needless to say I did not have to say I told you so

cjhstang-

Do you switch fuel tanks for startup on 80%wmo? I run 90+%, but I start/shutdown on pump diesel. Whats your setup and how is it workin for ya?

A couple times I have forgotten to switch at shutdown. She starts after excessive cranking, and belches a big cloud of grey!

If you are running 90% wmo its probably a good idea that you are running your #2 before shutoff.

Startup depends on your location and ambient temp. Have run 100% wmo to test many years ago. Temp outside was 90degrees though.

I prefer the two tank setup with one being regular diesel for startup and shutdown. It works great!!

I'm still blending in at 25% some SAE 30 non-detergant oil...I've put about 2 miles in on this blend so far...going to go to about 35% on this next tank. cold 30 weight is thick. I end up pre blending it at 50% before dumping it in the tank

right now i only have one tank, so i startup and shutdown on it. but i haven't been doin it for real long either...that was my first batch like that. i also have a starting system that is all most totally brand new...that helps.

well today i started the truck after sitting for over a week. temps were down in very low 30s high 20s over night. started the truck in 40 degree temp (assuming the fuel was still in the 30s cause truck was in shade). ran gps twice cranked for 3-4 seconds and it fired. choked for a few seconds then was fine.


...had to fill up on regular diesel today....that stuff sucks after running wmo!!
