Engines

TRUE... but they get HORRIBLE mileage, cost a LOT to rebuild, and the parts are a TOTAL PITA to find..

 

As far as burning used oils and cooking oils, my friend has a diesel Dodge and he's been doing that for years. He filters the oil and adds a percentage of diesel fuel. Little puppies and fat kids follow him down the roads. :banana:

 

When you recycle you can have an initial settling tank/50 gal drum. Filter to remove fatty deposits into a second settling tank. Filter again. You can run stuff straight but I wouldn't. My friend that does this had a "conversion" also. If you just stashed oil it would settle pretty clear after a year fer shure.

 

The McD conspiracy. The french fry oil gets recycled as fuel. This leaves a smell that makes you want fries. Your fry oil gets recycled.

 

Most durable Ford engine.

The Boss 429 (Hemi) was probably not the most durable Ford motor, but it would have been a blast in my old 69 LTD wagon!

Pretty much run it through a filter or cheese cloth and pour it in the tank, if you use veggie oil it will smell like French fries when running. My last boss had an old Mercedes that he ran every oil based product he could find in the drop off point for half used hazmat things. That thing smelled horrible when it ran he only bought 10 gal of diesel a year if that. He only needed it when it was cold outside.

 

I'm hungry for French fries!:banana:

So-----these el cheapo diesel fuel users are adding cooking oil to their tanks and burning it.

The fast food places are buying used oil from auto recycling places for their fries and fish. Then the diesel guys are using it again and again. At the rate people eat junk food and drive this can go on forever.
Gives a whole new meaning to "eat, breath, and live old cars."

 

but... just to be clear;
I COULD run old motor oil, trans fluid, and rear rear oil if it was thinned out with regular diesel?
