House has a fuel oil fired boiler in addition to the woodstove. Am I going to regret trying to mix some waste oil in with the diesel tank? Does it mix if you just pour it in?
For some reason I can't find solid info on this. Lots of posts about how the world will end if you try to burn straight wmo, but haven't seen anything about mixing it. Seems like it should mix, and I have hard time seeing how 10-20% WMO would make any real difference in combustion. Probably not great for the filter or nozzle, but those are super cheap to replace.
Would be nice to get rid of the buckets of oil I have sitting around and get something useful out of them. Don't have enough to be worth buying a real waste oil heater.
On the flip side, I also don't really want to contamination 200 gal of diesel and then find out it doesn't work well.
