[Vwdiesel] Used engine oil in fuel tank?

[Lee Hillsgrove]

  Used oil is full of metal particles, acid, and soot. Why would you want to
recycle that back into your expensive injection pump? At the very least, it
would contribute to clogging the fuel filter, and they aren't cheap.
 AFAIK, garages and auto parts places are required to accept used motor oil
from those who do their own oil changes. Me, I use it to start brush piles
on fire. :-))  Another fun thing I've found is to fill up a old 2 1/2 gallon
metal gas can with oil and place it on top of the bed of coals left after
burning brush. Makes for quite a nice torch once the oil begins to cook off.
Kids, don't try this one at home.
