Running a diesel on used engine oil

[rollaholic]

maybe thats why some people refer to running on as dieseling

coz my mate said it'll be sweet

/sigh

He may have more of a clue than he's letting on

got a mate that runs his td27 terrano on conola oil (unused) gets it free from his work, and it goes sweet as. pre-heats the oil somehow.

I know a guy that works at a transmission place, runs his TD27 on recycled ATF.......

We had a customer come in who's son had converted their Mitsi Delica Diesil to run on used vege oil of some sort while he was over in NZ on holiday from europe.

It developed a problem with the diesil pump and we could not find a diesil place in the country that would even consider doing work on the pump or injectors once we told them what it was running on.

We have had a case when someone has come in and said they cant turn their car off.. Ended up being the turbo had gone and it was putting oil into the engine and burning it, had to stall it to turn it off in the end

see this with heavy diesels very regularly,
bad enough that they cannot be stalled or shut off, shed clutches trying to stall until they eventually Chernobyl,

And not so heavy diesels. L motors, TDs etc
