used oil
Posted by G from Metairie, LA, US on April 22, 2008
can we dump used motor oil into our on-site diesel tank and burn it? Is there anything special we need to do in order to burn waste oil? What ratio should we use?
this practice while more common 10 - 20 years ago, is not recommended, particularly on modern diesel engines. Engine oil is not designed to combust, and deposits will start to build up within the engine, particularly around the piston, and turbo area, on modern engines the The exhaust system catalysts will be poisoned if exposed to excessive engine oil.
