If your talking about desiel to run in your car like gas if it is in fact a diesel that should be ok; Wish i had a little more information might be able to give you a little more help

Answer 5

Do you mean as engine oil?  I take it you're burning or leaking oil, diesel engine oil will make matters worse, it's highly detergent.  It's not formulated for petrol engines.

Answer 6

cooking oil works just as well , but only use on a 50 50 bases,and it must be clear of containments (or if they get past the filter they will block your injector pump) at the moment it is not illegal but as more off you smoke jockeys change over it will not be long before the government notice that they are losing revenue . so stock up for that rainy day

Answer 7

if your talking about engine oil, NO.  diesel engine oil is formulated a little different from oil for gas engines.
