Question

Can one mix used motoroil with diesel fuel to power ford 7.3powerstroke engine?

Answer 1

You can mix 10% to diesel.However a centifurge is the best way to spin out metal,dirt,carbon,and antifreeze.i have filter it premixed with 50% diesel with 2 micron filters 5 times.Example 2 gals wmo,2 gals. diesel.

Answer 2

No it will mess your motor up. Motor oil will not work correctly  in a diesel engine.  Motor oil is a different compound all together and would be to thick to get through your injectors. Some people on here say it will work but it won't you will clog your injectors so fast. you can use used cooking oil if you filter it and heat it to around 200 degrees. But if you want to do this you will want a 2 tank system. Try looking at www.greasecar.com. I hope this was helpful

Answer 3

Bad idea.  Used motor oil contains metal particles, so burning it in an engine will (1) damage the cylinder walls and pistons and (2) spew fine metallic dust into the air.

Answer 4

I wouldn't risk the damage to the injectors and valves. Motor oil is meant to be a lubricant, not a fuel. Used motor oil can be burned as a heat source in special furnaces. You have to determine if you have staedy access to enough used oil to be worth the investment.

Answer 5

Just run it through a fine filter. If u do not it will stop up your injectors.
