In Reply to: Used oil for fuel? posted by Lowly on March 22, 2011 at 04:57:16:
A lot of large equipment users install Oil Renewal Systems (ORS) on their equipment that take oil and inject it in small quantities into the fuel tank. The resulting mixture is usually kept at 2% or below. This is all accomplished with a special metering valve and software. So you can run used oil however I would keep the mixture very low and if not using an ORS system I would pre-filter the oil. And the main reason these companies use ORS system is because of the costs associated with disposing used oil. Many of these large off highway trucks have 100+ gallon sumps, thats a lot of oil to dispose. Also by doing an oil analysis you'll find the oil is "cleaner" throughout its life since you have to constantly replensih the oil removed with clean oil. This is good for engine components since the oil is never reaching the condeming limits, you can go 3-4K hours before a full oil change. Oil & Fuel Filter changes are still maintained a regular service intervals. Analysis of injection components has shown no ill effects at these levels.
