I ran my 240D on anything I could find! The restaurant oil was bad in winter because it usually had bacon fat and it would get thick but as long as it was mixed with a little gas and some pump diesel it would be fine!

Waste motor oil contains heavy metals that do not settle out, running that in a torpedo heater is not a good idea. Get an old oil fired hot air furnace with a flue that goes outside if you want to heat with that...
@@TheDrivewayEngineer You encouraging other people to do something that will cause them brain and nervous system damage is not cool, not that you care but you just earned an unsubscribe.
So the old tractor in the barn with all it's blow by is any better? You should only use those heaters in open areas. If people had a bit of common sense about them we wouldn't need the stupid warning labels lol.

Done this for years, just used a Wolverine centrifuge to spin it down. The stiff that was deemed too far gone, (i.e. 50 gallons of hydraulic oil that was completely emulsified with creek water and hadn't settled out in a month) got controlled oriface dripped into the wood burning stove. Fun fact when burning hedge and feeding emulsified hyd oil..... you will get the barrel hot enough to almost see through. Something with adding water to steam making extra flammable oil.... yeah had to buy a new barrel, lesson learned haha
Hey JR thanks for the video as usual. I love the idea of doing a old school diesel conversion myself. It's cool how you were honest about the aroma as well. People will make their videos and try to pretend like there's no downside. I'm sure if you were driving in Miami or something that might be an issue but it looks like it's pretty rural there were the multi-level multi-million dollar JR compound is located
The ingenuity! Very cool....I guess there's no equivalent for regular gas, unless you know someone in a painting company that accumulates large quantities of used paint thinner or the like. I suppose the problem would be if you live somewhere where you have to pass a yearly smog test....one could simply make sure the car is filled with normal fuel on test day....
my plan is to get red diesel from oil tanks being removed and has quite a bit of sludge from the bottom. planning to make my mix 10% waste oil (5 gal), 5% reclaimed gas (2 1/2 gal) and 85% reclaimed red diesel (50 gal). plan to run it thru a centrifuge for my home oil burner, tractor and garage diesel heater. for my 08 Cummins truck use, I plan to centrifuge and also run it thru a 2 micron Diesel Fuel Filter Water Separator when I pump it in to my tank. any guidance would be appreciated. thank you 😃 btw, probably should of posted this in your "Making fuel at home for pennies" video.
Anything that goes in my newer vehicles goes through my centrifuge first. I've also almost totally abandoned Biodiesel, in favor of using various petroleum products. Hydraulic oil, fuel oil, waste motor oil... It's way easier to collect. I heat it, centrifuge it, and use it from there. When it get's colder, you're going to want a lot more gasoline, I'm up to 20% gas in my oil currently.
@@TheDrivewayEngineer thanks for the reply. I agree, that's why I'm getting the reclaimed red diesel (aka heating oil). have a chance to pick up some hydraulic oil. guessing I can burn that in my house oil furnace once I mix it with the red diesel or would I be better off putting it in my 08 cummins truck? thanks again and ttyl
So you mix 4 gallons of used oil with 1 gallon of gas? I'll try it. I can't even find kerosene any more. I live in western PA. BTW I've watched two of your videos so far and I believe you need to learn about siphoning. You don't need to suck on the hose with your mouth. Just have liquid in the hose and flop it lower than the container is all. I once siphoned water out of my above ground pool using 6 inch corrugated drain pipe. I pushed it down into the pool and quickly flopped the end over the edge. It poured out extremely fast. I lowered the level in the 28' pool a foot in way less than a minute.
I wanted to mention that the state inspections here in PA are out of hand. My truck just failed for a rip in the seat. Ridiculous. The guy said that if you can see metal in the seat it fails and to blame the state. I looked it up when I got home and it says that if a metal spring protrudes out of the seat it fails. My truck doesn't have springs. It doesn't matter. I cannot appeal and am not allow to drive it on the road. They say that driving is a privilege not a right. It is the only way I get food or go to the doctors. How is it a privilege to eat? I tried to look up some organization to belong to but I cannot find one. I am not political. I quit voting when Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction then killed a million people.
@@onenewworldmonkeyI realize that I am very late to the meeting here but I am curious if you can repair or replace the "defective" item and then have it reinspected? If so couldn't one put a seat cover or even duct tape over the Torn seat?
@@johnprice867 Yes. I could bow down to the vision of those on a high horse whose ideals I, one of questionable character would dare to have a rip in my seat, must do in the name of "safety".

Turn in your drivers license to the DMV unless your making money using your automobile, then register your vehicle to a trust and buy private plates for it then do some research about right to travel and your good. Search up UCC 1-308 also . Good luck no license no insurance no problem if your not operating in a commercial capacity
I'm waiting on a few more parts to show up so I can drop in the 617 in my 4Runner. I work at a tractor shop so I have tons of used oil and hydraulic fluid which one would you say is better hydraulic fluid or black diesel?
Have you taken apart anything that has ran on wmo for long periods of time. Have seen complaints of a lot of carbon buildup inside engines from wmo. Curious if you have noticed anything like that.
@TheDrivewayEngineer thats a good problem to have. Lol. Didn't notice the video was so old. Was hoping to see what the blue truck head looked like but by the videos it has seemed to turn into a nightmare. Didn't look terrible when torn apart but didn't look like it was ran a whole bunch either. Thanks for the response.
why not kerosene instead of petrol? and you should have enough to filter the fuel through a filter that removes the smallest metal particles. It is said that particles thinner than a hair can damage an engine. there is a reason why you have an oil filter in a car
NOT SMART using a electric drill to pump gas mixed oil into that container!! The sparks off the brushes would be enough to make that explode if the wind blew that up into the drill!!
I don't own a diesel, but I have two heaters like that, and an old fuel oil furnace in the run down cabin that was here when I bought the land. I have a full 55 gallon drum of used oil right now, and I can get more from all my gearhead friends here in the UP. Also have a couple hundred gallons of bad gas in junk trucks that runs like crap, so I can use that too. It gets cold here and usually I have to take January and February off from working in the shop because getting it warm enough with sub zero temps is too expensive. I was wondering how I could use the waste oil in my heaters, and what you show will work. Now I need to figure out how to get my shop insulated better. Since I can make ethanol, I wonder if that will thin it enough for the heaters. So one gallon of bad junk gas in four gallons of WMO. Coolness. Thanks man.
@@TheDrivewayEngineer yeah it will allow you to burn the water rather than have it clog things. I might try it out with the old one, that thing burns so poorly it makes my eyes sting, so I got a new one last month.

You could run the waste oil through a centrifuge and get the impurities out faster. Seen a few ppl making them for this sole purpose.

I only smell it in the Toyota when accelerating hard, and it just has a dump pipe under the cab.
If the exhaust went out the back I wouldn't notice.

Gasifier is the simplest way to run a gasoline engine
The really cheap Harbor Freight battery powered transfer pump would be much easier to use than a drill pump, cheaper too.
Very informative!!!
It would be interesting to pump your black diesel through a pair fuel filters and see what it looks like.
All I do to put it in my new truck is pass it through a 10 and 2 micron filtet

Yay, I've hit the right video
I can't help but want to ask some dumb A question b4 i watch the video 🤷♂️ the intro
Well, I now know how to ruin a parking diesel heater in five days .ps and how to freeze to death in Maine at 20° and three in the morning. Thanks.
Your welcome.
My parking heaters have been working for 3 years just fine on it, just topped one off with 20 gallons yesterday lol.

You can make completely free diesel by making the gas yourself By Turning plastic into fuel
