I either use it to stain my trailer boards or the shop my neighbor works at uses it to heat in the winter, they have big waste oil heaters. It works great as a stain, repels water great and it technically is FREE to you since it is waste.

 

Can you elaborate on this a little bit please? If I understand you correctly, you mix the used and filtered oil with 2-stroke oil and use it as diesel fuel in your trucks? Do the engines like this or does it pose problems? Sorry I've got so many questions, I've just never heard of this.

 

If I understand him correctly he is mixing the two and then mixing that with diesel at a 60:1 ratio.

 

Yes, that's correct. 2parts WMO + 1 part 2-stroke, half gallon per tank of fuel. I add in a little Howes diesel treat over the winter as well to avoid any possible gelling issues because it can get rater chilly around here every so often through December to February.

I may eventualy wean out the 2-stroke altogether if I'm generating enough WMO over time to do without it. The current trend in my used oil stock (slowly increasing) and the amount I'm burning in the trucks seems to support that idea.

 

Keep in mind that these other guys are burnin it in 12V trucks and not in our 24V ones. Not that 24V trucks may not burn it also but I haven't seen that discussion here yet.

 

I burning it in a 1st Gen and an '07 5.9 commonrail.

 

I have a home built waste oil burner. Keeps the shop space nice and toasty-

 

It will burn in 24v trucks. I did it for a while in my truck. The downside was it dirties the injector tips. My injectors with ~10k on them were dirtier than the stockers with 150k on them.

 

Bring on the info and pics here.

 

I still want all the info and pics i can get on this oil burning heater and filter setup. I know there's oil heaters out there but didn't know there was a home build version you could build. I got an old shop wood burner that would make a great conversion to an oil burner if i could do it.

I'm tired a payin all this money for oil just to give it away.
