Used oil burners should be banned by the EPA, burning it that way releases cancer causing toxins in the air we breathe, almost as bad as dumping it. Especially if its high halogen content over 1000 ppm its burning hazardous waste which no one tests for in used oil heaters.
Commercial burners such as asphalt plants test used oil for lead, arsenic and halogens, they also have air permits and better tech to completely burn the used oil not release into our air we breathe.
Putting used oil in your tank is foolish and will cause major damage to your injection pump and injectors not to mention wear your cylinder walls out with the grit.
Used oil is classified as hazardous waste in some areas for a reason, its not like crude just out of the ground the combustion process and engine wear in it create a nasty product.
