Re: Hydraulic alternative

I wouldn't recommend it. My question to you is this, is hydraulic oil meant to be burnt?

There are different minerals and other pressure additives in hydraulic oil that over time possibly really screw with injectors and what not.

Now if you were to mix a bit with say #2, I dont see a problem with that, but running straight hydraulic oil would make a smokey mess and further get public opinion against diesels, even though they are much more efficient on fuel.
