waste oil in diesel fuel
Posted by Steve on July 19, 2006
What would you have to say about the practice of blending in small percentages (under 5%)of filtered used crankcase oil into diesel?
this practice has been used for many years with little detrimental effect, in fact Cummins used to market a technology called the sentinel system that did exactly this. However with modern emissions legislation getting tighter and tighter then this practice is not really acceptable any more. Also with 2007 engines having exhaust aftertreatment fitted in the exhaust, this practice could actually cause damage.
