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.

I would be diluting it into 320 gallons of fuel.

Is this common?

The better practice would be to save the used oil and take it to a
recycling station.
On a long voyage, you may wind up with a few 10-gallon containers of
used oil.

Pouring the used oil into your fuel tank *will* work, but why introduce
all those contaminants into the fuel system?
