What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Pu241]

You sir, have a very... Positive problem? 41MPG. Imagine if this were an F350 forum. By F350 I mean trucks, not Ferraris.

Then I'd be looking at WVO and WMO.
Oh, that's right, that's what that centrifuge is for in my garage!
The VW Rabbit and the 6.2L GMC box truck both use diesel!
Rabbit 45+ and box truck 10-11 MPG.

How's the centrifuge work for you? I've just been using a 5 micron sock filter and a 5 gallon bucket to filter WMO/Raw gas/Trans fluid, etc. and dumping it in my 7.3 (It really doesn't care what it runs on, nor does the VW).

Centrifuge not complete, need to have an inner wall welded in to create the catch basin for the bowl.

Currently using a nested set of sock filters 100, 10, and 1 um and gravity filter WVO cold. Then blend it with diesel/kerosen/gasoline depending the temp. In the summer run about 1/3 diesel and 2/3 WVO. Runs well.
Setting up the next diesel with a heat exchanger to pre-heat it before it hits the IP. Your 7.3L is likely more finicky than my 6.2L.
Waiting to get the centrifuge up before using WMO.
Should with low flow rate, 2-3 gal an hour, remove particles down to < 0.1 um.

cleaned up the fuse block and tinned the connections with solder and added actual fuses instead of the fusable links.

Filled her up with premium and added a bottle of seafoam for treating me good

That doesn't look nearly as cool as it did in my head. Still awesome, and decent work, but I had something entirely different pictured. LOL

I was thinking that the entire center bezel had been wrapped to cover the vents, instead of plates being added in their place.

That is not carbon wrap....its genuine carbon fiber.
