If you fill your tank with WMO it won't run. At least after it burns all of the diesel fuel in the lines and pump. It might actually run for a bit if it were

Agree burning used motor oil is totally counter-productive. It's funny how sometimes we get worried about having a little bit of soap or methanol in our fuel,

If only that were true. Often time these vehicles get ruined and traded in or sold before they die completely. It usually the next guy that bears the cost of

used motor oil is full of metal and high sulfur neither of which is good for your engine but it is your engine so the repair bills will be yours too ... From:

i think Jason has missed the point. If you fill your tank completly with used motor oil you will get ash build up and burn your engine up. From: "Michael"

Are you asking where the ID tag should be located on your Isuzu engine? Or are you unaware that it IS and Isuzu? Either way, be sure to have a spare fuel

FYI What do you think they do with all the waste oil anyhoo? They burn it in the cement kilns. As far as the sulphur content with all the problems with ULSD

Yup - that's pretty stupid. Both from an environmental standpoint, and from what it might do to the engine. Like Jason said, filtering all the gunk at home
