I wanted to know if you can run a diesel engine on nothing but used engine oil?

I don't even think an older 12V could run on 100% used engine oil and those engines could run on just about anything. So no I don't think a diesel engine can do so.

30% used oil is possible in a 12 valve, though not really recommend.
