We had a list member in Hawaii as while back who was doing just that
(1 qt./tank) due in part to the lack of suitable oil disposal options
on the island.

No, it doesn't burn the same. Guys use it in Volvo turbos when they develop

I floored it to merge, and suddenly a cloud appeared in the mirror.
A big cloud.
Fortunately, there was another ramp within 1/2 mile, so I coasted off,
stopped, threw in my two spare quarts, drove to an a
I wouldnt recommend doing that. I tried that once and i suspect that is

The problem is the ash from burning it could possibly damage the valve seats.
I would not burn much at a time. A quart a tank maybe. Adding a quart of 2
cycle oil would be better for engine lubrication and it has no ash when
burned. -Dan

Ok, I won't. I will turn it in for recycling (which means that my
mechanic will burn it in their oil heater this winter).

If your going to filter M-1 thru a toilet paper filter, you might as
well just put in back into the engine sump - it's been shown it can last
that is not quite normal fuel delivery...

I don't think YOU should do it. But I do think I
should do it. You have a nice 240D, I have a

RUINS MY IP, ASHES UP MY VALVE SEATS, ETC, then we
will all know the real answer.
I agree with Marshall in counselling everyone against
these experimen

Right, there are too many variables right now. What I
have done is filled the rest of the tank (1/2 empty)
with #2. I'm gonna run a few tanks with GE 8932Q (high
quality diesel additive) to clear it out and start
with a clean plate. What I was wondering up front was
whether I was going to get billo

Mitch,
This brings me to another dumb question: where does
the water come from?
Fuel - could install a water seperator
crankcase oil - if you have no cracks allowing coolant
into engine, how does water get in the oil?
toilet paper filter - now I thought THAT was a joke.
How does it work? Is there

In the crankcase, a little from condensation, and a little from combustion.
HxCx + O2 -> H2O + CO2 + heat.
Toilet paper filtering:

Water gets into the fuel tank through condensation. Even works in a 55
gallon drum.
A fine set up may involve a homogenization tank where feed stock is
heated and blended, then you run it through a filtration medium, such
as the TP filter into a storage container. From there run it through
