Default Add used oil to diesel fuel?

and worse than that a lot of this high fraction weight oil wont burn
completely in the combustion chamber and WILL 'coke' in the exhaust
section and begin to block the exhaust. Do you know how to remove
carbon blockage from an exhaust system?

If your engine wasnt designed to burn bunker-C or other thick heavy
'goo', dont add motor oil to your 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.

I would be diluting it into 320 gallons of fuel.

Is this common?

And how much would in cost in fuel filters? Maybe in an old Detroit

Diesel.
But not in any new diesel with a high pressure pump.


Why?

What if any of those contaminents get through to the pump. particles, will
score it, and the used oil has acids.
