For proper flow through fuel lines, filters and and injectors, the WMO needs to be thinned down to near the viscosity of diesel. To accomplish this, WMO is blended with other viscosity reducing fuels. The are a variety of ways to blend, with many folks documenting success with each. Here are some examples: Diesel, D2 - Advantages: readily available, fuel systems designed for, can blend at high% Drawbacks: Expensive, not the best at reducing viscosity. Typical Blend: 25-50% Diesel Kerosene, K2 - Advantages: can be blended in high %, tolerant of heat, lubricating and won’t negatively affect combustion. Typical blend of 10-30%K2 Regular Unleaded Gas, RUG - Advantages: greatly reduces viscosity, readily available. Drawback: highly volatile Typical Blend: 15%RUG Ethanol, E85 - Advantages: Reduces smoke, cheaper than diesel and RUG. Drawbacks: hard to find in some areas. Typical Blend: 15%E85 Acetone - Advantages: Excellent viscosity reducer. Drawbacks: Expensive, powerful solvent, highly volatile Typical Blend: 10-20%Acetone Tech Tip: Blending can be done prior to cleaning for better flow through filters or a centrifuge.
