Does anyone have experience mixing waste oil or transmission fluid with diesel and using as fuel for multi-fuel engines? If so, what %'s are you finding acceptable?

I have run between 25 and 50% waste motor oil with no issues other than the smell at higher concentrations.
25% is a good place to start. I pump my oil from a drum with a hand operated fuel pump with a regular diesel fuel filter/separator on it.

I run used motor oil at different %'s. The price of diesel is the major factor. when the price goes up so does the amount of oil i use. Never more than 50%. Usally 25 to 30%.
I had problems with the primary fuel filter stopping up. But i bought a centrafuge and started slinging the soot out. You can also dump some gas in with the used oil to thin it a bit, if your worried. Be sure your FDC is hooked up and working!

What is "FDC"?
The fuel density compensator. Do a search for it in the deuce forum and you'll find lots of info.......
