The black stuff just surfaced from the oil rig, not the used oil from the crankcase. It has not been refined at all, and therefore has all the paraffins, diesel base, kero, paint thinner, mineral spirits, acetone, gasoline pollimers, et al. It can range from water thin to almost wheel bearing paste like.

Just wondered if some of the thinner grade crude could be cut with anything to make it diesel friendly. This is TEXAS ya know, and we all uns have an oil well inna back yard. Just wanted to quit some of the trips to the gasoline/diesel fillin station
