AW32 at 5% OK?

[AKAMAC]

I have access to ~50 gallons of hydralic oil. I've used it as a lubricant/additive but am out of used oil as a "free fueling" fuel. Does anyone see a problem useing AW32 as a replacement for the 2 gallons/tank I would normally use?

I use all my old oils with exception of gear lube and synthetic. I have burned the hydraulic oil from my forklifts at rates up to 20% and the only thing I have noticed is more smoke and little harder start. I'm sure the millage is down but its free fuel so overall its better. I does clog the filter faster even when I prefilter the waste oil. I do run this in both trucks and I dont see any problem.
