So I have acces to a fair amount of synthetic used in refrigeration compressors Polyolester oil (POE)
The oil i brand new and is drained from new compressors and poured in a drum and disposed of. Never in contact with refrigerant
Can I mix this with deisel fuel and burn in my CUCV
I know its a solvent, so i'm sure it will "clean" my system as it goes through...
Also know it's Hygroscopic and will atract moisture, but not sure if it would attract enough excess moisture to be a problem?

Also have access to mineral oil used in vaccum pumps. I know it has moisture too and is "used" meaning it's part of a PM plan for the pumps
Same question, andy experience with this oil for mixxing with deisel?

Thanks!

I would say not a good idea. A solvent will do wonders to the injection pump. The DB2 pump is kinda a pile of **** as is and will degrade all on its own. Most CUCV's owners will be replacing pumps in the first 20K miles as is. I would stick with diesel and WMO and that is about all.

:ditto: What he said, I'm fairly certain the POE will disolve your O rings because they use the green O rings in refrigeration systems with POE.
