Can a diesel engine run on used motor oil?

Diesel engine could not run on used motor oil, but could run on diesel recycled from used motor oil through a clean distillation process.

1. Why can't diesel engines run on used motor oil?

A diesel engine is one that burns diesel for energy. Diesel as fuel oil which is burned in the engine to produce power, and it looks transparent. Used motor oil is the motor oil that is replaced. Used motor oil mixed with water, dust, other miscellaneous oil and parts wear metal powder and other impurities, resulting in black, viscosity increase. Some used motor oil degrades into organic acids, colloids and bitumen.

Used motor oil for recycling

Although diesel and motor oil are petroleum products, they are different and cannot be replaced by each other. Some people are wrong to think that adding oil lubricates the pistons and reduces wear and tear on the engine. Because motor oil cannot be burned completely like fuel oil, once a diesel engine is started with motor oil, it will generate carbon accumulation and knock the engine. Serious carbon accumulation may even scratch the walls and accelerate the engine wear and tear, and even lead to engine scrapping. Used motor oil contains the impurity, and the lubrication function also greatly weakens. The harm will increase greatly using used motor oil in the diesel engine. So a diesel engine can't run on used motor oil.

2. How to distill the used motor oil into diesel fuel used for diesel engines?

A lot of used motor oil is produced every day, and if we want to reuse it, we need to treat it and turn it into diesel for fuel with used oil distillation plant.

Used oil to diesel distillation plant

Used motor oil to diesel distillation plant from DOING Company can convert used motor oil into diesel in high efficiency. The used motor oil to diesel distillation usually includes: feeding, heating, distillation, catalysis, oil gas cooling, liquid fuel purification.

The used oil to diesel conversation rate is as high as 85%. And the resulting diesel can be used in heavy machinery, trucks, ships, generators or boilers for catering companies. And the price of diesel refined from used motor oil is much lower than that of oil price on the market. Some machinery factories are also willing to use this kind of fuel oil.

Used oil distillation plant final product diesel applications

DOING company's used motor oil to diesel distillation plants in the process of disposal of used motor oil is safe and environmentally friendly. Used motor oil to diesel distillation plants can also be used to recycle tyre pyrolysis oil and plastic pyrolysis oil, used lube oil, black oil, waste engine oil, etc. It has been praised by many customers. Welcome to send us your inquiry if you are interested. We supply different scales of waste oil distillation plants for sale.
