    Nice. All of the used oils and hydraulic fluids I collect at home I catch as clean as possible in a catch can I keep sealed in double trash bags. When full, I pour the 15 qts into 5-qt oil jugs I save from new oil/fluid changes. I let the jugs sit for at least 90 days and then slowly pour off the top 4 quarts. The last quart has the settled solids or contamination in it. I mix 3 gal of the clean used oil with gasoline nearly 1:1 in 5 gallon fuel cans and shake for 1 minute, and put two 5-gallons cans into a 3/4 full tank of diesel. My 2005 Ram diesel has a 40 gallon tank. This makes a mix of about 15% used oils. It seems to run fine Winter and Summer. I do change my fuel filter a little sooner than typical, about every 10,000 miles, rather than 15,000. The dirty oil left in each jug i combine again and let settle another 90 days and repeat. The 2nd time I pour off the top and use the remainder as chain-lube and make two-cycle fuel for my chainsaw, and some start my wood boiler at night. It's a cheap and easy way to get rid of collected fluids, have a little free fuel, and not waste anything either. Peace

    Some truckers pour the used engine oil from when they do oil changes right into their diesel fuel tanks.

    Mixing oil with gas by means of the electric drill is not a good idea. The drill produces sparks internally which ignite the gas vapor that comes out of the tank......BOOOOM 💥

    If you look for places that sell used commercial cooking equipments - they might have the filter pumps used to pump used to pump cooking oil to filter fryer oil - You want the gear type pump - Use a small hose for w suction hose - I use a 3/8 ID suction hose and 3/4 discharge on mine - those pumps work good - I've used one to pump oil for 40 yrs

    Mix in some stale gas, let the pump push it through a remote oil filter or through a line and fuel filter. Faster and better filtering
