Maybe because with the amount of diesel most of us sailors burn it just
ain't worth the effort.


a friend of mine has a '05 Dodge cummins diesel, and he strains his
used motor oil and mix's it up to 15% and has had no problems that I
have known of. he told me that he can go over that, but the exhaust
gets "smokey"
