Recycling WMO is the best way as it is blended into what we buy again. The oil companies have a lot of ways to make money off our back.
But if one insists to burn it then 10% blend with WVO should not be a problem as long as it is filtered well. If the mixing ratio with WVO ( or diesel ) is not too excessive, I suppose you can burn WMO, WATF, WPS fluid, WBrake fluid or any oil. Temperature is the key, even bitumen can be used to power diesel engine in ships. Burning WMO to heat a shop is different from burning it in a car as filtering is not critical, you only need a good supply of oxygen/air.
BTW, buring WMO produces more toxic gases.
