What are my easiest options for making burnable fuel out of used car engine oil? I don't care about safety and the environment, just minimally burnable fuel.
>>
>>16870838
let me chatgpt that for you

>>16870838
Yeah, you can do it.
Mostly involves heating and distillating. And it's more expensive than just selling the old oil and buying gas.
Of course, it is dangerous and you create a lot of unusable and volatile byproducts.
>>

Aw yeahhh baby!!! AMERICAAAAAA!!! Also I'm gonna use it for random shenanigans and this in general is just a proof of concept project for me
>>
do you want diesel or gasoline? Diesel is a lot easier, deisel engines will run on just about anything that vaguely fits the specifications for diesel fuel while gasoline engines are much more picky
>>

I'm thinking about making biodiesel, but I just wanna make stuff as proofs of concept and use a model engine to test them
>>
>>16870838
The used car engine oil already is burnable fuel. The easiest option is to do exactly nothing to it.
>>
>>16870902
cool i think biodeisel is very realistic there are lots of people who have done it before, good luck
>>
>>16870905
Will look into that as well :)
>>
>>16870838
Unless you got some equipment for cracking oil, which is probably only useful if you're sitting on tons of old engine oil, I'd say just mix it with some more combustible gasoline and burn it.

I feel like it still would ash and clog the atomizer
>>
>>16871110
That's what burning used engine oil does to you.
You could up the ratio of clean to used oil but that would just delay the inevitable.
>>
>>16870838
Check out nobox7's youtube for engine oil burner.
>>
>>16870902
model engines generally aren't designed for diesel or gasoline, though they of course exist, but cost a lot more than simpler alcohol fueled engines.

Why is banana fascist symbol on an "an"-cap flag?
