My manual specifies #2 or #1 diesel fuel (or a mix) depending on the ambient temperature. Someone told me that used motor oil (filtered) mixed with #1 diesel to achieve an appropriate viscosity can be used. Would using that mix cause any problems? Could that mix be used in a standard residential oil burner furnace without problems? Could used hydraulic oil be used as fuel for either application? I know that waste oil burners will handle all types of petroleum based fluids with proper filtration, etc. but don't know of any required equipment specifications for those burners.
