I look at these threads where people are burning WMO as a fuel instead of Diesel. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to setup my own filtration center sometime. But I have to ask, how "clean" is WMO compared to diesel? I guess when I hear "motor oil" I think exhaust stacks blowin black as coal. I am no greenie weenie but even that doesn't sound all that great. Seems that the results are just the opposite though? Users of waste motor oil are experiencing the same or LESS smoke compared to diesel.

My truck will smoke more with oil added in the mix. I tend to believe that running WMO isn't as clean as diesel. I tend not to worry about it too much though.
Believe it or not, even with all of that black smoke belching out, diesel pollutes less than a gas engine.
That is very true. Diesel smells bad, but the toxic gases are much less.

Now I am hooked and thinking of getting rid of my 67 Chevelle street rod to buy more MV's.
I have noticed that my non turbo deuce smokes less when burning WMO.

Mine tends to smoke less with a mix of wvo and wmo. I have had no issus and have used it for about 4,000 miles now. Just filter it well and you have removed any harmful particulate or contaminates.

Both my turbo & non-turbo smoke more burning wmo, and the exhaust really stinks.
I don't care because I'm never behind me!

Dad, that quote is 100% you, rest in peace Marine.
I'm running almost 100% WMO in mine and it smokes a little more than it did before. It seems to be down 20% on power though. I'm just waiting to turn the pump up a bit to make up for the loss once I get the EGT guage in.
How clean is WMO vs Diesel?
