What do you guys think about using alternative fuels? Worth it? Comment Below ⬇️

If I still had my 6.2, I'd be mixing used oil in it. but with my LML, I'm not risking it. baby's got over 530, 000 miles on it and runs like a champ!

Yes you can, but not straight and without easy prep. This is how I do it:
All of the used oils and hydraulic fluids I collect at home I catch as clean as possible in a catch can I keep sealed in double trash bags. When full, I pour the 15 qts into 5-qt oil jugs I save from new oil/fluid changes. I let the jugs sit for at least 90 days and then slowly pour off the top 4 quarts. The last quart has the settled solids or contamination in it.

I mix 3 gal of the clean used oil with gasoline nearly 1:1 in 5 gallon fuel cans and shake for 1 minute, and put two 5-gallons cans into a 3/4 full tank of diesel. My 2005 Ram diesel has a 40 gallon tank. This makes a mix of about 15% used oils. It seems to run fine Winter and Summer. I do change my fuel filter a little sooner than typical, about every 10, 000 miles, rather than 15, 000.

The dirty oil left in each jug i combine again and let settle another 90 days and repeat. The 2nd time I pour off the top and use the remainder as chain-lube and make two-cycle fuel for my chainsaw, and some start my wood boiler at night.

It's a cheap and easy way to get rid of collected fluids, have a little free fuel, and not waste anything either.

Peace

I have an older ford 1986 with 6.9 international diesel and I run just about any kind of free oil I can get in it. Sometimes I mix it with some gasoline and sometimes I mix it with diesel. I have never had any problems from doing this and I usually filter with an old t-shirt or whatever I have around.

I have a 2001 vw golf diesel that I daily drive. I have used new transmission fluid that I had laying around to prime my fuel filter. Worked great. Also I do a 4:1 ratio of 2 stroke to diesel every other tank. The injection pump is so quiet after words.

I have a 96 12 valve. I've been mixing wvo with diesel for 4 years now. Use a centerfuge to clean the wvo. Never had an issue and change the filter every 30k. I run up too 90% wvo in the summer. If you have issues with a coldstart. Just plug in the block heater for a couple hrs. Works like a charm.

Ps I’ve been using my old KN95 Covid masks to filter the oil - the bands that go around your ears work to hold it in the end of a funnel. I put it in my garage by the door and pure in a little every time I walk by.

Great video, I daily drive a 2009 Ford F350 with a swapped Detroit 4-53T in it and run a two tank veggie kit. Start and stop on diesel and run on wvo, works great. Same can't be said for engines with CP3 or CP4 pumps.:)

I have a 7.3. I run jet fuel, used oil including hydraulic oil. Never misses a beat

[joeeddy]

I do a 50/50 mixture for my old machines with mechanic fuel systems. It seems to work well. I also just build a gravity feed oil filtration setup that will filter it through standard oil filters that way I know the oil is clean of debris before I reuse

One of my coworkers was a commercial generator tech and he filters and burns his oil changes in his 24 valve Cummins. He also told me there are diesel generators designed to only have the filters changed and it simply has a new oil replenishment tank that keeps the oil at level while it intentionally burns the spent oil.

[balkaraulakh]

I use used motor oil/waste oil in my 335d, I mix it 50/50 with regular diesel and its been fine for the past 2 years since I started

[sbc_jake_]

My dad use to put home heating oil in his 83 6.2 square body. Idk how much i was just a kid when we had access to it. He also would put a gallon or 2 of fresh gas in the tank when the cold temps hit to help with moisture and gelling. Those Detroit could burn just about anything

[markmulvanny]

I owned an older MB 300D whose owner's manual recommended the use of kerosene instead of diesel in the winter. I rented a moving truck a few years ago and had to refuel with kerosene at a NV rest stop (trip computer lied to me). It blew the carbon outa' that thing in an impressive cloud -- and ran like a top after that. It's my understanding that kerosene is #1 diesel -- simply more pure/refined than the typical #2. I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

Its always a good day when truck master uploads

Back in 07 I use too get waste oil from restaurants and run it in my Benz . I ran 40% oil to diesel fuel worked great changed my fuel filter every fill up. I got a great deal on filters .

[ericmessier]

I had a dealership in Maine put Kerosene in my Duramax to break through fuel gelling. It actually worked really well.

[tombowman]

It used to be very common to mix used oil, but I myself haven't seen it being done in years.

[TheWaterman]

I would recommend you use a centrifugal filtering after pre filtering your veg oil. One method I use is to let the oil settled out for a couple months. The layer can be pretty clean and clear. I never use old oil due to the ash (carbon) content.

[littleredridinghood]

You can put anything in a 12v cummins .. I used to get waste cooking oil from the restaurant and strain the french fries out, truck would smell like Mcdonalds when it was running ..
