    Black Diesel

    Looking at black diesel, it occurred to me that you could add 800ml of used engine oil to a full tank a bit less than 1%. Considering that there are methods to use 60% of waste oil as a fuel, the 1% it seems like a good way to environmentally remove the waste oil from land fill.
    I know that some people will have a conniption with this idea, most likely the same ones who had cardiac issues with the idea of using Kerosene as an anti gel additive. "The injectors are delicate!" BTW the engine was run on pure kerosene to gauge wear and tear on the injectors. They didn't wear in the slightest.

    waste oil doesn't go to land fill if it isnt illegaly dumped in say a'wheelie bin. if you look up supercheap auto and check which stores have the recyling dump master on site, usully out side the store , you can take up to 20 litres there in containers and dump it there for free to be recycled. I dump mine at the Dandenong store if am am passing them.

    might want to research what the actual testing was on the injectors....

    might also want to check whats in suspension in your oil before you feed it into the tank.

    might also want to check the emissions......

    but yeah, filter it well enough and 1% of stable used engine oil shouldnt hurt it.

    unless it gets addicted to it and then...

    if you have ever priced a set of TD5 injectors, you'd think twice.
