I've been using DSE for 2 weeks in my 2000 F250. Now my fuel pump is getting quite noisy. Common problem or coincidence? My truck only has 30,000 miles on it. A mechanic says 50/50 chance of failure.Is the oil too thick for the pump? My untreated oil is completely liquid at 48 degrees. DSE says it works in any diesel. I WONDER IF MINE IS NOT ANY DIESEL? Any comments or suggestions?

One thing that has not been suggested or posted yet is the viscosity of these various blends. I don't blend, but let's see some data on blend viscosities -- we have the proprietary tool known as the World Famous Dr. Pepper Viscosometer.
I doubt these blends can compete with diesel fuel or even biodiesel viscosities at lower temperatures, and that can lead to pump failures.

Nice music..... I DO like the music. $9.72 worth of music, $1.29 for the label on the bottle, $.32 for ingenuity, the rest......well? Next time I wash my hogs I'm gonna save and bottle the water.....call it SSHWA-"Super Secret Hog Water Additive".....million miles to the gallon!!

....or SSHWA-"Super Secret Hog Wash Additive" ....or SHWIAB-"Secret Hog Wash In A Bottle"
to back up & be nice...., everybody's got to make a living somehow, so we could do our civic duty by help 'em out & buy more DSE

Basically the manual tells you to buy a Walmart plastic garbage can a couple of pumps and a couple of household water filters, hoses and fittings. Install a Goldenrod filter in one for water removal and wa-lah your system is ready. Actually you also add Kerosene (10% ratio), unleaded gasoline (5% ratio), some Diesel-Kleen+Cetane boost and the magical/miracle potion (DSE) and then pump in your tank. Its pink in color and smells somewhat like paint thinner.
I have a friend who is a lab rat and will take it in for analysis. Out of curiosity, I'm going to mix a small batch up and see how it does in the fridge and then the freezer. I'm still scared to put it in my 2000 Dodge Cummins. It also has a chart stating that it is good to 30 degrees. Add 5% more kerosene for every 10 degrees colder. Blow is the mixing ratio, you guys are the gurus out here. What's your opinion?
20gal filtered WVO, 2gal Kerosene, 1gal unleaded gas, 15oz Power Service+Centane boost additive, 3.5oz of DSE mix slowly for 5 minuets and put it in the tank. Q
So the dse is basically mineral spirits with this mix what is the 15 oz. powerservice & centane boost additive (over the counter stuff or what ) I thought I might mix up a batch for my rabbit 50/50 with diesel what do you think as diesel prices in oregon are 3.50 per gal need to out of nececity

Another good test might be to mix a control batch, the same, but without the DSE. Then subject them to the same temperatures and see what the differences are.

I used it for 2 weeks. It runs good. It is definitely thicker than diesel, so it doesn't start as well. It made my fuel pump run noisy. I went back to straight diesel, no more pump noise. Hopefully no damage.
Using their regular mix you really need to heat it.If your going to heat it you might as well run svo.
I'm going to adapt mine to run svo and not take the chance of damage.

I have run about 1500 miles on the DSE blend, but I'm driving a 1985 Mercedes 300D. It would likely run just fine on crude oil out of the ground, thinned correctly. It does run slightly rough for about 30 seconds when starting from cold in the AM. I am going to increase the amount of kerosene or reg.gas as it gets colder outside, but since I'm in central FL I can get away with a non-heated blend system. I DID notice that all the "goo" in the diesel tank was broken loose by the WVO blend, and I have had to change fuel filters a couple times, and also totally clogged up the fuel tank screen. I am going to add electric wire heat to the injector lines within a month, and I'm planning to put a small homemade heat exchanger between the lift pump and the spin-on filter to add a little heat.

I don’t even know where to begin. But I will start by saying if something seems too good to be true it probably is just that <TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE>!
1. The glycerin is not removed from the oil. Glycerin is known to cause trouble with some fuel injectors. <-- This by itself should tell you something. 2. Even if this product seemed to work perfectly in all motors which it doesn’t it still has not gone through enough testing to be considered a safe alternative fuel. 3. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent on research for biodiesel fuel additives to reduce jelling. This money is being spent by productive responsible companies who don’t seem to think that this magic formula is good enough to even look at; else they wouldn’t be spending all this money trying to make other products. 4. If this magic formula or method have been used in the UK for so long as advertised then why were biodiesel registered in so many counties as an alternative fuel but this product left in the dark. I can go on and on and on but won’t even bother. 5. Last but not least, if someone currently using or going to use waste oil in thier automobile then all the power to you for checking this product out. But if you want to truly be on the safe side do a lot of research about this product/method or stay far away from this product as possible.

Snake oil. You have to heat the snakes first in sealed stainless steel processor, then the oil rises to the top and they bottle and sell it. The mark-up is about 60%, depending on the type of snake used. Some snakes yield more oil than others.

It's easier to keep the snake in a cage above the engine so that the heat from the engine makes the snake sweat the oil directly into the intake. That way the snake can be almost infinitely recycled as long as one gives it a fat mouse to eat from time to time.
"who is john galt, anyway" (though I saw your name on a biodiesel board or petition, of some sort, as well) - a onetime Ayn Rand fan; not sure how I feel about the philosophy student's claim that she once said Kant was "a very evil man." Otherwise, all this seems to indicate to me, initially drawn by the siren song of cheap and easy alternative fuel, that DSE might be interesting for the lab, but maybe not for my tdi (and its expensive IP); may still try it with say 50% tankful of regular diesel (once we make it above 20 degrees here in OH) for (possibly self-, or 'auto-', destructive kicks)
Hello, I am Prince Hoon from the Country of Glycenderol. I have many economic interests in excess of 2 billion US of which I must dispose for tax reason. You could be so kind as to give me your bank information, I will deposit this monies in your account, less 33.3333% for my hard labor and for the trusting of you I give. That should say I am to be believed, less the courts will detangle my dreadlocks! Very painful.
All I need for you is to send act of good faith to me by Western Union in the amount of 10 thousand US or lifetime supply of "Diesel Secretion" whichever comes first to my Swiss Bank account which is not of the ownership of that rapscallion Tilly.
Here, in Nigeria, we do not hide behind the locations called "Paradise." OK? Good. Give me the money.
