Very cool to see it running smoothly on 100% filtered motor oil with nothing diluting it. I suspect the injector pump will last waaay longer pumping filtered oil than ultra low sulfur diesel.
Greetings from Germany, I have a similar Diesel generator at home. My advice, thin the oil with 10% gas to thin it. I have build a T fuel switch so I can start and shut down with diesel, and run on black diesel w90. Works awesome. I have successfully used waste oil engine/auto transmission and vegtable oils. Never mix them they can gel up. Up to 2% of acetone can help keep the injectors clean. But essential is a clean/well cleaned oil. I use a pressure driven centrifuge for it.
I run the oil through bucket top filters. 600/ 400/ 200/ 100/ 75/ 55 microns. Then through sock filters 25, 10, 5, 1, then finally 1/2 micron filters. I've got a 55 gallon drum of oil with 5 gallons of gasoline and 5 gallons of diesel added. I was planning on using the OEM tank to start on diesel, then once warmed up, switch to the motorcycle fuel tank which will have waste oil in it, I also plan on having a water fuel separator on board. This whole video series is for my motorcycle build. A diesel electric hybrid motorcycle.
@@TACOMASRT5 I mix all together, synthetic, ATF, hydraulic, waste motor oil, anything petroleum based, and 10% diesel. I've done this for at least 10 years, never had issue or clogged injectors.
I have been using waste motor oil to run in my military trucks, military generator, dc military generator, and my lister petter single cylinder diesel engine for years, and when running synthetic oils, mix 10% diesel with it and it will keep the engine from carbon up, the injector from clogging up, and easier to start, and cuts down on smoke. I filter with a centrifuge and mix 10% diesel in, and it runs great in everything.

thats awesome! thanks for doing it. i'm amazed at what this little engine can take. makes me want to build my own motorcycle with it
Go for it!

Wait are you saying not to mix motor oil and ATF? Or don't mix motor oil and waste Vegetable Oil
@@TACOMASRT5 dont Mix any Mineral or synthetic based oil with plant.based oil

Thanks! Ive also heard that people mix in 10% gasoline to thin out the oil and increase the flash point of the oil
