Can it be done?....

I have an unlimited supply of free oil 10w-40 15-40, 80W90 ATF....etc

Can I burn these fluids fresh right out of the bottle as a mix with diesel?

Jeff5886

sorry double post

mikmaze

first off we would need a hint of what your are trying to burn it in......... 55 gallon drum.... campfire........ or possibly a cummins of some particualr model ? aside from the avoidance of road tax issues.......... others will chime in too.

2000 Dodge 2500 Sport Cummins 24 Valve, 4x4, Auto, Quad Cab, Short Bed With BHAF, Airdog 100, Edge Juice with Attitude, 5" TB Exhaust and LOTS MORE

I wouldn't use it in an electronic pumped truck. If you had an '89-98 truck I'd say yeah, go for it, mix it 50/50 all day long.

ok so no no on waste motor oil or fresh motor oil on an electric fuel pump such as an airdog?.....

if it is new i would run it

67HotRod

You name it, I've run it in mine. BUT! I added a 2 micron filter to the truck right out of the tank.

Jeff5886

So If I run a filter through the fresh oil, there shouldnt be a problem even on my truck with the airdog?

67HotRod

I'm not sure what micron the air dog filters to. If its a 2 micron filter, your set. I do carry an extra filter with me, just in case. I learned it easier on the fuel pump if you add the oil after adding fuel, so the fuel is not so thick. I've run up to a 50/50 mix in mine.

*Oh, I would be carefull with the ATF. If you have the motor oil, i'd use it first.

I wouldn't think twice about it. I do it mine with WMO. I just filter mix with diesel & filter through a water separator & into the tank.

Go for it.

So i shouldn't worry about any issues with my setup?

I run whatever NEW left over engine oil I have around the garage. Just dump it into the tank and it magically comes out the exhaust. No more than 2 or 3 liters per tank though...

I would not burn tranny oil in the vp44 or new trucks...

Sorry, I should have been more specific; I meant your fuel injection pump. I wouldn't run a heavy mix of motor oil and diesel through a VP44, they've got enough problems staying alive on #2 diesel. Like another poster said, 2 or 3 quarts per tankful of diesel is probably ok, but I wouldn't be looking at free motor oil as a fuel SOURCE. As a fuel supplement, yeah, toss in a couple quarts with every fillup; it'll probably add the lubricity back to the ULSD we're using now.

Ill take all that free oil you don't use.
