Yes, you can run hydraulic oil.
* If it is clean.
* If it is not contaminated with water.
Viscosity is the critical factor:
* Thin it with Diesel or Kerosene.
* I have run 100% hydraulic oil in the summer, and 50% winter -20F.
* The injection pump is notably quieter.
* It may or may not smoke slightly more, depending upon the oil and how well you match diesel fuel viscosity.
Warning, Thick oil can cause:
* Incorrect lift pump valve function and injection pump Starvation.
* Injector and pre-chamber coking.

Thanks for the info you have me grinning ear to ear !! The oil we use is a ISO 5w20 or straight 10w It comes out of Aerial devices and digger derricks filtered down to 10 microns .
I'm guessing just run a pump with a filter from the barrel into my tank ? I didnt see anything about a spare tank .
Did you notice any difference in power at 100 % ? I would ask about the mpg but I imagine this was run on a closed private track correct ? wink wink nod nod !
Do you replace rubber with viton ? Im guessing lubricity is the least of your worries. 
Have a great day !
