Just for reference the US Army are testing disposing of waste engine
oil
by mixing it with diesel fuel. It works!


I don't consider it likely that any army, and partiularly the US army,
has diesels with emission control equipment. It is quite likely that
the contaminents in waste engine oil could reduce the effectiveness of
auxilliaries.


waste vege oil contains water amongst other things. That would have to be
siphoned off before it could be used in a motor.

What temperature has this oil been used at?
