Uses for used motor oil

[redpoint5]

I drain used motor oil into a spotless oil pan, then directly pour this into the fuel tank of my Cummins. The oil has already been filtered thousands of times by the oil filter, and it gets filtered down to 10 microns by my fuel filter before entering my fuel injection system.

I've heard it is great for lubrication, and I have observed the best mileage running waste oil in my rig.

To be sure, the doors will fall off the POS Dodge before the motor gives up.

LOl!!!! Great tips to recycle used oils....

Rise, Zombie thread.

In the video Why Jet Boats are AWESOME (U.S. Coast Guard's Workhorse) at ?t=866 they show a Falling Ball Viscosity Comparator

Falling Ball Viscosity Comparator - The Gerin Corporation
The Gerin Model V-3 Falling Ball Viscosity Comparator instrument measures viscosity and detects contaminants in lubricants. This viscosity test method utilizes the principles established in ASTM D 445 Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Opaque Fluids.

Falling Ball Viscometer Principle - Inst Tools
The Falling Ball Viscometer is based on the measuring principle by Höppler for simple but precise dynamic viscosity measurement of transparent Newtonian fluids. The basic concept is to measure the elapsed time required for the ball to fall under gravity through a sample-filled tube inclined at an angle*.

I burn it in my coal furnace.

I thought it was a steam-punk looking test device.

I heard you can use it to treat wood. But don't take my word for it.

My coal furnace lacks the gauges, plumbing to be steam punk, as it only has 2 gauges.

By the very fact it is a COAL furnace, it is steam punk.

When I eventually use it to also heat water it will be steam punk AF. Lots of copper, gauges, ect.
My coal burning forecast for this winter is hopefully none as long as I cut enough firewood.

It was the Viscosity Comparator that I thought would be Steampunk

I thought I had a picture in my Albums, but here's one from DuckDuckGo:

Mine has coppery coils and a chunk broken off the skirt. I've thought about stacking it on my stovetecstore.net/product/firefly-dual-biomass-lantern-cookstove/



It would need an adapter plate to clear the cast iron. What would that be? Prepper-punk?
