Can you burn this in the Deuce? - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

It is rust preventative we use in production so parts don't rust in transit. It gets tacky when it dries, but maybe just add some gasoline to cut it? Has anyone burned it in the deuce before? Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

With the number of warnings on it, I'd say yes it can burn in a deuce. As long as it's not like paint or varnish, that has other stuff like pigments in the mix, which would do a number on the filters. If it's a petroleum based solvent, of a homogeneous nature, I'd say it's okay.

That seems like a bad idea to me. Please read the label again. See arrow in the attached image.

I would say NO because it is a coating, bet it will clog filters, lines, injectors, pump, ect., each time things are shut down, the coating will buildup. doubt the filters will last long, no matter how much cutback is added there will be COATING going though the system. To me, not worth the chance of MAJOR trouble, also what about the O-rings

buy bulk wix filters and keep about 6 in the tool box.

Just thin it with Wreckermans lacquer thinner.

Well, okay, I'D burn it in MY deuce. Course, I'm not picky on what goes in the tank. I've peed in the tank after a good night drinking...

I do not take responsibility for you screwing up your truck with weird stuff.

Bottom line is: IF YOU HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION "CAN I BURN THIS IN A DEUCE?", PERHAPS YOU SHOULD JUST BUY THE DIESEL AND BE DONE WITH IT.

Well I guess I should have worded it differently.... Will it cause problems burning it in a deuce. I burn WMO with out issues, and wasn't sure if this would gunk up the system sice it is a coating and gets kinda tacky. But frer oil and veggie oil get tacky and people don't have problems when they burn that?

The solvents are most likely not an issue. It's what is dissolved or suspended in the solvents that would bother me. I personally wouldn't touch it. It could end up being some expensive fuel.
