Running waste motor oil??

Has anyone tried running waste motor oil in a 24v cummins? I had a GMC before this dodge and ran a 50/50 mix of filtered waste oil with fresh diesel and it worked great.

I did see an ad in DP for such a device. burns your waste oil in the engine, I wonder if that means runs on it, or just burns it with your fuel?

Wmo

Search for a thread called "Filtering used motor oil and running with fuel". Use "WMO" for your search. People said in that thread that they don't filter just use a clean container and pour it in the tank.

I wouldn't go 50/50 but maybe 10-20%. That's why they're called oil burners!
My waste goes in the furnance, torpedo heater, or truck.
