Has anyone tried USED OIL as Equipment Fuel?

[nixxo...@gmail.com]

... would love to hear from someone who does this before I try it.

The Mississippi State Extension office published an article
recommending farmers consider USED OIL as Equipment Fuel as an way to
cut costs.

"Waste engine oil and hydraulic oil also can be filtered (5 micron
filter or smaller) and burned in a diesel solution in tractors and in
other equipment. A good starting point is 90 percent diesel and 10
percent oil, although up to 100 percent oil use is possible with good
filtration and preheating. Be sure to check with the engine
manufacturer before burning waste oil in engines under
warranty. With vegetable oil prices low (20 cents or less per pound)
and diesel prices high, soybean or cotton seed oil blends with diesel
fuel may be economical."

Thanks!

Richard,

We haven't tried it in any of our diesel engines, but I can vouch for
Used Motor Oil as a cost-effective heat source.

We've used it in oil-fired heaters to heat our barn and shop for
several years now -- without a hitch.

Another benefit of burning used motor oil from farm equipment is that
it makes use of a product that sometimes must be disposed of at a
cost!
