I have access to 110 gal of NEW turbine oil. It is "in the way" at my work and they are wanting to get rid of it. The drum doesnt say much more than the factory Turbine oil and "tessaric"(sp??). Would this be ok to run though? Being new oil I would think it would be ok to pour straight in right?

new turbine oil isnt cheap - if its in sealed drums why not try and sell it to a local compressor outfit & use the money to buy diesel....just a thought

the multi fuel should burn it ok and the turbine oil if new is gonna be CLEAN.

Yeah I thought about that. But I really dont want them tracing it back to my company and my job being in jeopardy over $500. When i could just burn it...Save myself 110 gal x $3.80 Diesel = $418. And not have any worries, plus nt have to deal with another company and price and all the BS.

FYI. I am not stealing the oil. they are throwing it out. BUT if I told them I was going to use it, then they found out I sold it somehow....might put a strain on future oil from here.

Turbine oil by design isn't meant to burn. I tried a couple of quarts in a truck (not a deuce) to see if it would burn and lost a lot of power.

It will burn just fine. I have tried turbine oil in my M35. Although mine was used oil. I'd sudjest mixing it with diesel and or gas untill you see how your truck wil react. Just use it as a additive to keep your fuel costs down. I mix other oils/fuels in mine just to keep costs down, not as a straight fuel.

I have used it in my duece with no problems and no prower reduction but I only put 5 gallons per tank with 10 gallons of used motor oil.

Turbine oil is about 10W, and is normally a straight oil without any extras added to it. It should work OK in a multifuel if it is mixed with diesel.

isnt this the oil they use in the drive head and shaft of water wells?

I burned about 40 gallons of it that I found in a genset repair trailer I bought. Worked great. Took me a while to open 150+ quart cans.
