My brand new John Deere 990 should be here on Friday, and I got to thinking about the fuel I'll be puting in it.
In my Duramax truck, I run 2 or 3 quarts of cheap Wal-Mart 2Stroke oil, 9 or 10 ounces of Stanadyne Performance Formula, and top it off with 30 or so gallons of petrol.
Anyone here using anything in their fuel tanks besides off-the-shelf additives and diesel?
Once I get the plumbing manifold complete, I'll be filtering and burning used hydraulic oil, used gasoline engine oil, and maybe some ATF if I can find some that is clean enough. Burning it in my truck, that is. Probably no more thanl 5 gallons of each, though.
What can the tractor's fuel system handle? I'm sure it's tough, but I don't know anything about it. I don't DARE to run straight ULSD in anything I own. Horrible stuff.
Any opinions/experiences/cents are welcome.
If the conclusion is that it's not a good idea, I make biodiesel so I'll just run that 100%. Enough lubricity for me.
