how I make black diesel/wmo

[@3360274]

Great idea!
That's about the best you can do, unless you put a centrifugal filter in the bank of filters.

[@GoogleUser-yj1wy]

Good to see someone recycling old oil! Fair play to ya

[@leonvdm]

Nice, thnks for sharing your setup with us.

[@sethtaylorm925]

I converted an oil furnace to burn straight filtered wmo, works great.

[@randymattt]

Do you have any videos? How did you convert it ? Did you preheat oil or just bigger injector tip ?

[@sethtaylorm925]

I did exactly the same as this guy did. I filter threw a centrifuge, an make sure that i mix thick oil with thin oil, to keep the consistency the same.

Not sure of a cut off date per se, but older engines would likely have the most success using crankcase oil for fuel. The emission sensors and soot filtering devises om newer vehicles don't hold up well with clean sulpher-free stuff. The 2cycle Detroit Diesels would thrive on it, they used to run on raw filtered crude. Old Caterpillar and Cummins manual natural aspirated engines could handle filtered crude also, however initial starting would probably be easier on real fuel then switching after the heads got warm.

For your filters use house water filters, theyre cheaper to replace when they get clogged

[@dinosshed]

Mix gasoline and E85 in with it. The ethanol drags the moisture out and the gasoline portion helps to thin the oil. I'd also boil it to help evaporate the remaining moisture and it will halve the time it takes to filter. I do run this in a common rail injection engine and there's no issues.

[@randymattt]

I thin it out with old stale gas when I can get it for free what kind of common rail ?

[@randymattt]

My wife has a newer VW that is common rail but not sure how it will like oil

[@dinosshed]

@@randymattt ford transit with the 2.4 non dpf. Mixing the gas/petrol in makes it easier to thin out the viscosity. It's got 320 thousand k on it.

[@randymattt]

Do you notice any power loss running wmo in the transit van? My truck is low on power running homemade diesel but it's fine for daily driveing would suck pulling a trailer

[@dinosshed]

@@randymattt there's no noticeable difference. The petrol adds plenty flame front to the oil. Usually 1:8 ratio, unleaded to oil.

[@lancegouvan1653]

Them oil filters may cost abit at first but worth it

[@lancegouvan1653]

You should try to get a centrifugal spring system

[@mickwolf1077]

Does storing it under pressure help separate the water?

[@randymattt]

I don't store it under pressure and not sure if it would help or not could also store it under vacuum too. Only takes 2weeks usually to separate water

[@ZarawarKhan-gs8hr]

Hey can you change the colour of black diesel to yellow

[@randymattt]

I'm sure it's possible with enough filtering I get alot of used hydraulic oil that is very clean that when filtered looks just like diesel fuel

[@ZarawarKhan-gs8hr]

@@randymattt can acetone change the colour of it in Asia its called light diesel oil which is defined as mixture residual oil such as waste engine transmission oil and distillate fuel such as kerosene diesel etc.

[@ZarawarKhan-gs8hr]

I mean to say black diesel is called light diesel oil.

[@randymattt]

Mabey acetone mixed in 5% would help some of the carbon and junk sink to bottom quicker and I watched a video of some one dumping off road diesel trough cat litter to make it clear Mabey a charcoal filter would be best to get a more yellow color

[@ZarawarKhan-gs8hr]

​@@randymatttare u sure mate that just 50gms of acetone will do the work of settling carbon and other sediments of black diesel qty 1 litres.

[@rrusso9299]

Don't try this at home unless you want to ruin your truck like I did
!!!!!

[@randymattt]

What kind of truck and why?

[@dylanporras2655]

Sounds like user error
