Do you guys think the fuel filter will get plugged faster running old oil ?

. Anyway I have been burning the oil from the gassers but the Dang oil from the diesels is filthy black. You know the stuff it is permanently in the finger prints and driveway. I know some of you toss it in your tank but man this stuff is black, black, black. I am a bit concerned about dumping this stuff in my pride and joy. Should I pour it in and do you do it? I looked in the thread but didnt see anything about burning diesel WMO.Dusty

Black oil
dustyrock,
i dont see any reason for the oil being black a bad thing. it is oil. thats why its called " black diesel ".
if you have any douts about it, filter it through some paint strainers. about .40 cents from NAPA.
i run it in my "pride and joy" and think its a good deal. i am runing 10%. it runs a lil quieter, and at start up i use to get the black plum of smoke. i dont get any now! and i have picked up 2 mpg more. a lot of guys say nothing has changed. and yes i acounted for the oil in the tank when calculating it out.
i'll keep running it! plus at three gallans less a fill up, thats $7.80 less a tank.
x that by 4 times a month. $31.20 is 31.20. and i am trying to save as much around every corner with a baby on the way.

Every time I change my oil, I dump it straight into teh tank , then go fillup. I try to let teh tank get low before an oil change, so I think I have been pretty consistant at putting the oil from teh engine into about 26-28 gallons of diesel. Not sure what percentage that works out to exactly, about 10% ballpark figure.
I havent had any problems at all, kinda like the way it runs with it, I can sure tell a difference now when runnig a tank of straight diesel, much louder and she "clatters" more.

OK I am going to go ahead and dump it in, next fill up. I already have 5 qts of gasser oil in her now. I have 5 gallons of diesel WMO to use too. No more taking it to the disposal tank for somebody else to use. I am saving nearly $3 a gallon and she runs just fine with it.
Thanks for the help.
