Burning used rotella

Anybody done it? Heres what Im thinking, since I have about 20 gallons of used rotella sitting in the barn: I have a 50 gallon tranfer tank in the bed of my truck, with a pump that will pump anything. I was going to buy a 10 micron or so filter that will just screw right in line with the pump with 3/4" fittings, to kind of ease the pump and filter a little I was thinking of mixing 20 gallons of diesel in the tank as well, before I run it through the filter. So I would be filtering a 50/50 mix of oil/diesel Would I hurt anything doing this or should I go with a smaller micron filter? What would a good final ratio of Oil be? 20%? Remind you I live in Florida, it doesn't snow here (so im not worried about viscosity too much). I would just like to do something to of set the ridiculous price of fuel.

Dont do it... very hard on injectors...

i would put it in a big barrel, and light it in on fire.....

:stupid:

I had a feeling that might be the case, I was just trying to find a good use for it... I just thought I have heard of people running WVO - Waste Vehicle oil.

WVO= Waste Vegetable Oil

oo I thought that was SVO....

But now that you mention it, what if I could use SVO/WVO with the same filtering method, etc I mentioned in the original post?

if using WVO/SVO you would want a seperate tank, and not put it in the fuel tank. There are kits out there that do this, a tank with lines to reroute hot coolant through tank to heat the oil so it is thinner and flows better.

You can blend WVO and SVO right in the tank I did it multipule times.Went 50% once.Don't know what winter would do.

Did you filter it? I found a 15 GPM 10 micron/ water seperator filter that will go on my transfer pump for 30 bucks.

SVO = straight veggie oil. New not waste.

And yes you do want to filter the WVO, dont want breading or french fries trying to fo through the fuel system.

Sweet... I think Ill stop by tractor Supply and pick up that filter tomorrow, then off I go to Burger king and McD oil hunting... maybe ill stop by a Chinese place too... I wouldn't mind some Chinese food smelling exhaust. :D

Dogs and cats will run away from a truck that smells like Chinese food. Might also want to check for lead content.

:hehe:

used a pair of pants 1st then a 5 micron into the truck with the WVO

You don't want lard KFC uses lard.Chinese is the best.You also don't want water you don't want chicken fat and #### either.It is nasty and harder than you think

Not only that , but using chicken fat would be a waste of goode gravy.

We've got an oil burning heater out in our shop. Thing works awesome, its a good source to dispose of that used oil. Plus, it makes for pretty cheap heat in a 50x75 shop.

Just a thought

Not only that , but using chicken fat would be a waste of goode gravy.

damit you just made me hungry
