I have received access to aproximately 500 gallons of new motor oil of different viscosities. 15wt to 50wt. No it's not hot. Oil became disposable due to a brand change in a large backup generator. Knowing the oil is not contaminated, would it be safe to pump straight into my deuce tank??

I agree with mdmorgan....If it's new I would imagine it will be pretty clean and should be just fine. I don't see any need to filter it either...of course it also goes that it won't hurt anything. You could run a few gallons through and take a look to see whether you've caught anything...bags should be pretty easy to see something building up....cartridges won't be easy though. It would be interesting to see what a good centrifuge might catch....

If it's new, it's gonna be a lot cleaner than anything one could clean through a home made centrifuge. I would burn it in a heartbeat if I had an A2.

On one of our machines at the mill, there's a hydraulic tank that leaks. I put a bucket under it and catch about 2 or 3 gallons a day... dump it in the fuel tank (with a rag for filter for the sawdust) and it runs great!!!!

500 gallons on an oil change......must have been one ell of an oil pan.....crap.....must have been one ell of an engine.
150 gal in crankcase and oil cooler. 250 in bulk makeup tank. 2 barrels for portable compressor engines on skids.[thumbzup]

OCASSionally I get the opportunity to buy new veggie oil...corn...soy...olive...sunflower...etc. Food grade....nothing wrong with it, other than past the expiration date.

I filter just for caution...but really think it isn't necessary. I have known guys that pour new oil straight into the tank and never had a problem.
