Better mileage with drain oil

[Dean Upson]

I can see where a large trucking company might save some money by adding the drain oil to the fuel. I cannot see the saving on one pickup truck. Just my $. 02.

Also, what happens to the cetane value of the fuel that the oil is added to? Dont think it would enhance it, but I've been wrong b4.

The transmission is also an excellent place to recycle your old sawdust from the workshop and grass clippings from your yard. Makes it shift easier, and I swear I'm getting better mileage!

Here's a post from my friend Steven, who in a previous life, was a Navy Engineman.

take this from someone who has worked on big and small engines from Mercedes to Duetz for over 15 years in the Navy, your asking for trouble burning waste oil.



1. Your cylinder temperature is going to be lower. Oil does not burn as hot as fuel.

2. The carbon build up and sooting downstream will cause back pressure.

3. To top it off, I called my instructor at the Bosch injector rebuild school to check. He said don't even think about it.



The only time I added oil to fuel (and it was new oil) was in Antarctica. We were running JP-8 jet fuel in a pair of Detroit 6-71's . The reason for running the oil was because JP-8 has no lubricating qualities... . then it was 1 gallon to 200 gallons of fuel

Steven has a 98. 5 Dodge 2500 CTD. I'm trying to talk him into joining TDR

I thought about the oil thing by elected to reuse the flux-capacitor out of my time machine. When I need to fill up the tank, I go back in time when diesel was under a buck.

To think it is cheaper to make diesel when compared to gas.
