Has anyone heard about this? I was talking to a member at the fish & game club I belong to. He claims he takes used motor oil and blends it with some ingredient that costs .75 gallon to produce and burns it in his home furnace and his GMC diesel van. The exhaust smelled like a heavy diesel equipment running- kind of oily smell.

He was being very evasive about it, wouldn't even tell me the ingredient just that he found out about it in some farm magazine and he's been running it for almost a year. I couldnt find anything online about it.

It's a bit like distillation. Heat used engine oil until it smokes, then condense it into a liquid. Smelly, high temperatures, and toxic ash as a waste product. But it may make a good diesel fuel.

No, he claimed it was mixing it with something not high heat.

Then he's got some vegetable oil/gasoline/kerosene blended with WMO....and probably the secrete deezel snake oil.

"Cracking" is a high temperature process.

Then he's not cracking it. He'll be diluting it with some hydrocarbon thinner like toluene or something and filtering it. Possibly low grade cellulose paint thinners they use for washing out spray guns in body shops.

You mean salt cracking.I've heard that works with salt rock and drill motor mixer.They offered it for wvo,but I tasted the result and it was salty.Old engine and trans oil might be different.

Google Lindsay Williams. Someone on this board doesn't like that name since the correct spelling, with an 'sey' versus 'say' brings up an 'admin approval' page. Within a day or two the incorrect spelling of Lindsay will probably also be flagged so expect these posts to 'disappear'. Try it yourself. Yes I am posting this to a bunch of pages since I smell a big fat rat!!! Google Lindsay Williams!!!
