Hello all, I am new to the forum and have my eye on a multifuel deuce. I am a machinist and the boss told me I could have all of the waste whey oil and other machine oils to burn in it, if it will burn them. So my question is, will they burn these oils? Mostly whey and a type called DT24.

Thanks!

Welcome to Steel Soldiers!

You probably meant to say way oil... Yes, a Multifuel engine will burn it, as well as hydraulic oils, like your DTE24.
The only problem is that the stock fuel system in our Deuces wasn't really designed for much higher viscosity fuels - compared to diesel. So, what you can do is burn a 50/50 mixture of diesel with other oils, or somehow preheat your alternative fuels, if you want to use them undiluted.

Haha yeah, I did mean way, it was late at night haha. Well that is good to know. They say I can use as much as I want because it saves them money, so if this truck becomes a reality that is what I will do. Thanks!
