Too bad there isn't a diy emulsifier, it appears the cost per gallon is decreased and up to 40% water can be used in diesel, its stable for months, while maintaining moderately similar performance out of over the road motors, not low speed rigs. At least that is the claim.
Would be interesting to try in an old non-turbo rig.  |
Interesting indeed.
Apparently, just the action of churning and heating diesel and water at the same time can cause emulsion.
Hydraulic pumps are famous for it, (Turning the hydraulic fluid creamy white) and mixing some methanol in makes it more hygroscopic, IIRC.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
