used engine oil for fuel
Im running my 6.5 on 50% green diesel and 50% used engine oil. belive it or not it fixed almost every issue with it, no more white smoke, no more rough starts much more power and 30 mpg in a 1 ton to boot. anybody have any pros or cons on this? twenty thousand miles on this mix and no engine trouble yet. still looking for more power though. let me know guys

The mechanical IP engines tolerate this very well,just be sure to filter the fuel down to 5 microns or less.
The electronic IP engines have been known to have issues with the optical sensor getting clouded in the IP from fuels that are not refined diesel. |
30 mpg's gotta call bs on that :nope:

Canadian gallon :humm: I think they measure in liters up north :pca1:

We have both imperial gallons and liters,US gallons as well on some containers.
That said miles per gallon is still the most commonly understood mileage term-just isn't always understood that it should be done in US gallons. Liters per 100 kilometers is less understood or used.At least less used by me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon |
I agree no need for a link :c:
|
Figured it was interesting info,didn't realize there was almost 3/4 liter difference between US and imperial gallon.

The reason it adds performance and fuel economy is because fuel refineries nowadays use less crude oil in diesel fuels. Oil is the second main ingredient in diesel fuel. Used for lubricant for start up and running. It also fills in microscopic spaces between the moving parts. It also stays coated in the cylinder after shut down so that the cylinders are not dry when starting.
