Thats what i did. I got a 2' chunk of 3" pipe and hoseclamped 3 layers of thick tshirt material on one end and filtered it into a clean container. Now i have to ask. what are you doing for filtration on the truck?

Yeah that was actually next on my maint list as i have no clue when the last owner changed it...or if its ever been changed for that matter, but when my fuel pressure gauge arrives it'll let me keep a good eye on when it gets dirty

you should never mix over 50/50, I do this as well with no probs. As long as you got it diluted pretty good your fine. Call Cummins they will also second this. Its what the big rigs do when they come in for an oil change, oil is pumped right to the fuel tank on some of them. And yes always filter it, i use an old t-shirt, it takes a while but worth it.

Ummmm no, I would not call cummins and ask such a question, I would also love to hear bosch's response to adding that much used oil to fuel through their HPCR system. I'll pitch in to pay the fella who calls these companies and asks these questions if he agrees to post the exact comments/results. Unbelievable, and here I am nervous to put 2 cycle fuel in my 150.00 lawnmower

IIRC, Cummins says 20% oil in the fuel is fine. I read a post a while back, where one member ran 70%, sometimes more! He has like 600,000 miles on the truck.
It was a 12 valve not HPCR. I'll see if I can find the thread and link it.
