Remember the old stories about using acetone?

Never heard of that. My dad used to have mix ratio x amount of diesel, y amount of gasoline, and z amount of atf. I have no idea what that would do but i recall them claiming it would make diesels run better. Not a chance id ever try it in something i owned.

Hell when guys were running fuel pincher Detroits they'd fill up with 10gal gasoline and 90gal diesel. I'm sure HSD helped lube things up tho.

If I had a 12v Cummins I'd be willing to try a lot more fuels than a CR system.

I experimented a lot with my old 6.2 Detroit. With just the right amount of unfiltered cooking oil, stale gasoline, motor oil, atf, gear oil, and a splash of questionable diesel that thing would do rolling burn outs. Mixtures had to be just right though.
True story :angel: :rofl:

He ain't joking though. He really ran concoctions of all that stuff in his truck. LOL :woott:


Didn't Michael (Super Diesel) experiment with running waste engine oil, atf, gas, etc. in a duramax back in the early days?

Michael burned anything he could get his hands on. He was coming here for a visit and called me asking how much used ATF I had on hand. I said 250 gal's. He said that will due as he needed fuel to get home. :D True story.

Yes I did. If it was more flammable than mud and less flammable than gunpowder the old girl sucked it up. I may or may not have exaggerated about the rolling burn out though...... or any kind of performance gain........or anything similar to "performance" out of that thing :rofl:

I am a little more selective with the Duramax but it does burn it's share of waste motor oil and atf. Used to get wvo but I don't do that anymore.
