Sorry to revive an old thread, but I thought I would add my 2 cents to this useful thread. A few years ago I bought a battery charger, which went belly up about a year ago. I recently bought an M756A2 to experiment with. It has a 24 volt electrical system, so I dug the dead battery charger...

That explains why your WMO does not leave behind sludge when blended with WVO. Black over burned WMO, which is of the WMO I see will lay down a 2" thick rubber-like mat of sludge at the bottom of my settling buckets after being blended with WVO.

I am surprised that your combo blend has not lead to gooping up your entire fuel system, IP and injectors, because blending WMO with WVO will typically result in producing a very sticky tar-like substance. So, after doing so to my diesel vehicle several times before I realized what was going...

Since 2008 there has been a great deal more exploration of burning waste oils in diesel engines. It turns out that WATF is the good stuff that many want to burn, because it will burn in most diesel engines without thinning or heating or modification. WVO, on the other hand, can be burned...

Thanks I found a 3/4" dia x 4.5" Hitch Pin at a hardware store that should work. It was only $5. But, the hair pin retainer chain was re-welded and is in the way, so I am going to have to cut it off and re-weld it first. I noticed that the stiff legs are like a puzzle, if they are not put...

The 3/4" Steel Tee Handle Clevis Pin, linked to above was a 1.5" too short for the stiff legs, and it was one for $21, not a pack of 10.

There is a lot of information available on this section fo the forum, so read through some of the threads. I find WMO has a lot of sub-micron particles, so just filtering is not enough. So, a centrifuge can help remove most of the sub-micron particles. However, I have been running waste...

Finding sources of waste oils can be difficult. I happen to have an abundance of WVO available to me, so I do not even collect WMO, and I have small shops wanting to give it to me all of the time. So, look around where you live. I find it works best if you check in with the small shops, or...

My 1969 M756A2 non-turbo gets about 7.5 MPG on the highway on pump diesel. I have not run it on alternative diesel fuels yet, but I plan to soon. The reason why people get less mpg on oils, such as WMO, is because they do not burn as efficiently as diesel fuel, even though they have more BTUs...

Nice WMO processing setup. The advantage that a centrifuge has over filtering WMO, is most of the particles in WMO are sub-micron colloid free carbon and ash. Filters will only get the >1-micron big chunks out. I use both filters and a centrifuge to process my waste oils into diesel fuel. I...

Thanks for the update. Yes, processing waste oils can be messy, so I do everything that I can to avoid those messes, but no matter how careful we are, and anticipate all possible variables in our design, it happens anyway.

Alcohol will ruin the seals in your IP unless it is kept at or below 3% in your fuel blend.

I agree, Nitromethane will most probably work fine in any diesel fuel blend if it is below 3%. Above that you are risking swelling seals in the IP. The head gaskets should not be an issue. Since it is hydroscopic, then old Nitromethane might have so much water in it that it will settle out...

A whole assembly is fine, or just the plate. Whatever works for you. I am in AZ. Can you ship what I need to me? Thanks, John S-B, for the good advice. I will do as you recommended.

Thanks a lot, Happyland1410, for the photos. Thanks, wreckerman893, it appears all I need is the plate that the two cables connect to in Happyland1410's second photo. Do you have it? How much? Can you ship to 86336? If so, how much? Can you take PayPal?

I have an M756A2, which has a similar spare tire mount that I have and I would like to use, but it seems to be missing a few parts, so it would be useful for me to fab the parts if someone would post photos of it. I did search the archives but did not find what I was looking for. Here is what...

Those using magnets for collecting metal particles in the WMO stream, please let us know if you ever find any iron particles on your magnets.

Good work. I would only point out that if you blend gasoline with your waste oil as soon as you get it, then leave it to settle for a month, then your settling program will be far more effective.

No, the sediments are meant to be removed, but I have found there are heavier fractions above the coke, ash and tar that can be extracted and burned during warmer months. No, the precipitates are not the result of a chemical reaction, but are simply suspended particles that fall out of...

I think the bottom line is burning oils of any kind in any diesel engine, even a multifuel, is a marginal fuel, and burning marginal fuels in any diesel engine tends to result in coked injectors, rings, valves, etc. So, anything we can do to improve the burn is wise. The heated two-tank...
