John,
Motor oil will cause coking problems as it
does'nt burn as clean as B-100 or SVO. It has a
high carbon content.
SVO which is the filtered untreated raw cooking
oil has to be heated.

The waste motor oil is good for mixing with
Diesel or stove oil for home furnaces,  and I'm
now reading about heating my home with ATF. Yeah-
I think you could even burn lard in that engine.

And lard comes in the big tub that says Manteca,
great for emergencies.

The lard can be treated like the SVO to become
Biodiesel which has had the glycerin and
impurities removed.
