You just have to keep it clean and don't let any trash in it. Just be sure to go no more than 49% meth to a gallon and your good to go for around 1.55 a gallon. Oh and DON'T SMOKE AROUND IT!!!!!!

Where do you get 49%? Just curious.

I run a 50/50% mix all the time. I've read of some folks running up to 70% meth but I expect they most likely have issues with pre-ignition.

It's been my experience that a 50/50% mix is relatively non-flammable (I've tried burning a mist of it. It only made my lighter wet).

Just in people I have talked to with the cummins you don't want to hit the flammable mark when your grid heater can come on. That would be bad so just erring on the side of caution don't want a fellow 1st gen going down in flames

Mmm.... Water injected over long periods of low-load operation.

Is that a oil/water mix and where did that come from? Mine has never done any thing like that

I can do that at will on mine. Somehow it never happens to anybody else. I must be doing something special, can't figure it out though.

Yeah you mix it with plain water. The heater cycles on and off in cool to cold weather and to know when it working just watch your voltage gauge
