Used motor oil burnt with heavy fuel in ship?
(OP)
Can used oil such as motor, hydaulic, gear, ect. oils be dumped back into the settling tanks and be burnt along with the bunker 'C' on a ship?

The only negative I have seen is your pretty #2 diesel is now an ugly black..

So a Ruston would burn a bit of used oil in it? Or an EMD?
Could I just put it down the ullage pipe?
No emulsifier needed?
Thanks

Shoreside waste disposal companies send the processed waste oil to steam plants and marine fuel suppliers for mixing with bunker C.
I would definitely avoid using anything like this in an EMD or any other engine that's designed for using light fuels, though.
If you do burn it, you'd want to add it to the deep tanks just prior to fueling in order to disperse it better. Distribute it evenly to each of the tanks being filled.
There's the potential for parafinic precipitation due to mixing oils from different base stocks, but the relatively small quantities you'd add to your base fuel shouldn't cause this to happen.

Might run a viscosity and other tests pertaining to Bunker-c fuel prior to using. Should be able to do this in the oil shck aboard ship. The only draw back I can think of is more sediment in your fuel tanks and heavy metal's being dispersist in the atmosphier.
Let me know the out come.
