Used engine oil instead of WVO?

I've ran JP8 + 15w40 in Mraps and hmmwvs and lmtvs many times.

When an engine is built for diesel and you use jet fuel in it, things tend to leak due to lack o lube in fuel

No issues. Actually the MAXXPRO Started heck of a lot better in Afghan Mountains with the oil in the fuel when it got to sub freezing negative degrees and snow.

I always did 1 qt to 20L of fuel. New or used oil. Safety Kleen 15w40 mil spec oil
 
Shoot. The 6.2 non turbo and 6.5 turbo hmmwv engines are noticably quieter with the mix. And they're pretty noisy engines.

Also, the cylinders have a easier "feel" to them while driving and accelerating
 
Here's a cutapart of my last fuel filter, which had 15L of used engine oil in 3,000L of total fuel consumption.

Given the novel design, you can see that it was capable of trapping most of the gunk, early into the flow path...not sure how it would have gone with double the waste oil or more.

That design, the fuel does multiple passes through the filter, the fuel cleans up really well in service.
