Default Add used oil to diesel fuel?

I recently read something about adding the used oil from your crankcase

(20
quarts from my engine) to your diesel tanks to burn up, thus saving the
purchase of five gallons of fuel and eliminating the problem of disposal.



Let's see now, 20 qts of contaminated motor oil, or 5 gallons.

Even at $4/gallon for diesel, that's $20.

The cleaning process for the 20 qts of oil will probably consume at
least $25 of filters plus whatever is required to neutralize the acids
in the oil prior to filtering.

Sounds like a winner to me.G
