Don't even think about putting that sludge in your tank! You'll be wondering how to get it out. Just toss it out. Get yourself some good used oil, then put in a two tank system, your benz will last much longer.

Put it in your crankcase. You will find that the oil companies are pulling a fast one on us and that you really don't need any of their products.

Isn't that question more appropriate for a porn enthusiast message board than an MB enthusiast message board?

You probably have some non food grade VO and possibly neem oil, rice bran oil or karanji oil. Non food grade but thinner version of vegetable oils are about 50% cheaper than food grade. Regular corn or cottonseed oil non food grade is about $7 a cubie.
For every vegetable oil, there is an optimum temperature at which it gives the best performance. I wouldn't hesitiate in thinining it out as long as you check the PH

If you don't know if it is thick becuase of the type of oil, or becuase it is contaminated, I would suggest you heat it and mist wash it. Then dry it well and see how it is. If it's still thick, it's probably just thick oil.

I wouldn't put it in my one tank without a fuel pump, and even then it would have to be pretty warm outside.

Try thinning it out with mineral spirits or paint thinner up to about 8% heat and settle then try filtering after heating up to about 90 to 110 deg. f . blend in some diesel fuel and or regular gas . I would not use it alone in the tank blend up to 50% diesel.
