Black Diesel? I'll bite. What is it? WMO?

If diesel is black, its usually thanks to algae. Not good.

Black diesel is used motor oil. I have heard guys burning as much as 25% without problems, I would filter it good though.

From what I have read transmission fluid will ruin injectors. So at that risk is it really worth it? Not to me, my injectors were spendy. I run 1 quart of two stroke oil to one tank of diesel. I would say just stick to used motor oil. Gear oil I dont know, i dont think that would be good either.

so what is the point of running used motor oil in the fuel. does it help, make it smoke, or just a easy way to dispose of it?
