after an oil change, would it be ok to dispose about a gallon each fillup, in the gas tank?
Careful if it's synthetic... Heard that stuff doesn't burn as completely as one might want. But I don't know from first-hand experience.after an oil change, would it be ok to dispose about a gallon each fillup, in the gas tank?
Excellent point. However, fuel is not nearly as clean as it appears, either - - as witnessed when you disassemble a used fuel filter. I filter the used motor oil through some blue jeans fabric and then through a 5 micron filter bag. It still looks dark but at least if it is filtered to 5 microns it won't damage the injector pump or injectors.If you took it out of your engine because it was dirty why in the world would you want to run it through your high dollar injection pump and injectors?
There are tighter tolerances in the injection pump and injectors than in the engine, so clean fuel is very important to the life of the injection system.
Quote for truth. Thats almost as a bad as an EGR on a diesel. As one guy said on another site - "I dont want my engine eating it own poo!". If you dont' have a recycling drop off, burn it on some leaves or in a barrel.If you took it out of your engine because it was dirty why in the world would you want to run it through your high dollar injection pump and injectors?

I don't see how it is any different than running waste vegetable oil. If it is filtered well enough it won't hurt the pump or injectors. I am a little concerned about some of the additives but most of those will go right out the tailpipe, they don't spend enough time in the chamber to really make much of a difference. I would be concerned about ash build up in a pre-combustion chamber engine but not direct injection."I dont want my engine eating it own poo!".

With the money I drop on my trucks, I am not going to try to save some pennies and pour drain oil in them. They get d'zl fuel only. Just my feelings.

Ditto. You can dump dirty oil in your fuel tank at your own risk. The cost of 1 injector alone negates any gains from the fuel substitution.With the money I drop on my trucks, I am not going to try to save some pennies and pour drain oil in them. They get d'zl fuel only. Just my feelings.
