Used oil for fuel?

[oilpond]

Any thoughts on running used and filtered truck oil in my 91 4.2 please?
Seriously! Any one run hho on a diesel before?Tap Tap lol

Look up black diesel.. I ran it for a solid 6 months. Awesome idea to start with it but I personally think it needs to be run in a turbo. WMO (waste motor oil) has a lot more energy than diesel. But needs a lot more air to get maximum burn.
In 6 months in my 91 TD42 NA it's blocked up the exhaust quite a bit..
But in bogmasters 4.2 turbo has been running for years..

Thanks Westy,im pretty sure i can get an endless supply of WMO and am reading stuff in a GM forum ATM with people split about 50/50 on the subject but i figure if can figure out how to make an oil centrifuge? and run it at about %50 i should be pretty right and am heaps keen to try???

Yea I ran just a straight filter system down to .5 micron, and blended 50/50 with diesel.

As I said I think it's best to run with a turbo as a NA doesn't get enough air to allow the oil to burn properly..

And yes, any town has an endless supply if your willing to pick it up..

Yup I have a bit sitting here, couldn't be stuffed takin it to the tip

Do your research, there are heaps of pros and cons..
Some pros-
Saves fuel, lubricates mechanical pumps and injectors, makes the engine heaps quieter...
Some cons-
Messy as hell, can build up carbon, does smoke a bit more, can clog injectors.

It did like it, but as I mentioned I wasn't getting a full burn, and it was blocking the exhaust.
I was running a water/meth system aswell.
