[H.Hagar]

Just curious, and expect Hagar to have some words of hillbilly wisdom on the subject.

Using used engine lube as feed for a Rabbit ?--excellent Idea. (it works).

WHY ? . ---  it is easy to get .   And simple to process.

The lube to try to get in order of most desirable .

# 1. Aircraft piston engine lube . --- of the NIL ash type.

# 2 . Old car engine oil from paraffin crude --non diesel.

# 3.  Diesel lube .  non synthetic.

There are a number of WASTE oils available ---- that can be used with
little or no filtering in a Rabbit.

It is a win win situation ------first in the sump ----then in the Tank.

So the answer is ----why not ???   Mark.   go for it.  but make a small still
or a really good filter.

The injection pump is the most critical part ----it will not like fine silica sand
particles from the lube oil.(dust).

By the way viscosity is important for pump --(keep low) and Aviation oil is rated
differently to Car oils.    100 Av is 50 Car.

I have run my test engine on 100%   100 weight Av oil on a hot summers day.

As to the soot in diesel lube ?  --will it harm the pump ?  I do not know at this time.
But I am working on it.

Hagar.

the moonshine.
