I had great success on first batch of black diesel and poof- smoke and less power have zapped my benz named ZOK. I am not sure if I got ahold of synthetic oil or more dire problems lurk under the hood. Here is what I do notice since running it after straight diesel. VERY QUIET and much less vibration. That is the good, the bad? Fuel economy suffering- getting around 17mpg and smoking profusely at idle and startup. My mix is a 3o% diesel to WMO- so my 1999 chev cavalier at 30MPG and less cost per gallon is almost as efficient- sad face here. I am told by users of black diesel my fuel economy should be same or better, sad face here because if that were true I would be all over this project. I never really checked mileage on the first batch but had no power issues or smoke on first batch of 10gallons. Which I knew contained no synthetic because it was my own waste motor oil. My next 30 gallons was the difference it seems and that is where I am not sure of what the content was.

I have filtered the snot out of the WMO and added acetone and sea foam injector cleaner to every 5 gallons of mixed fuel. Any ideas out there??
