I admit to being a little nervous trying something new like this when pulling a horsetrailer.

Heck, with the cost of a new diesel engine I would be worried about doing it anytime.  I wonder if it needs to be filtered first ?  Sorry, I just have images of old french fries and pieces of chicken nuggets in my engine :)

 

Seriously though, it sounds interesting.  My husband says that the reason the military (he is a retired Marine) use diesels is that they can run them on just about anything if they have to.  When they had to use jet fuel in the jeeps they added transmission fluid (because jet fuel is so "dry") and the diesels ran just fine.  He's the one that said the oil would probably need to be filtered.
