All Fuel runing with used motor oil

Has anyone tried to run their All-Fuel tractor on a mixture of gas and used motor oil? I have a 1944 Model B that still has the hot All-Fuel manifold. I have a bunch of used motor oil I have collected over the years. I was thinking of filtering the oil and then mixing it with the gas in the fuel tank. Just to get rid of it. I use the tractor for mowing with a #5 mower. Just a thought, what do you think?
 
Years ago my John Deere 70 gas was putting oil into the gas through the fuel shutdown. Put a new one on and shortly after it filled the crankcase with fuel. Didn't want to waste it so I poured it into the fuel tank after we rebuilt the old fuel shutdown and switched it out. It was about 5 or 6 gallons of gas to about 2 to 3 gallons of oil. It ran fine, started a little harder.
 
(quoted from post at 06:31:42 07/23/14) A good way to foul the plugs.

I used to have a D that I'd run on 80% #2 diesel and 20% gas when plowing and it ran fine. I don't think I'd try more than about 20% oil though.
 
Years ago we experimented with a little gas in diesel fuel pulling a 4020 before pulling became a rich man's game.
To our surprise the gas would settle out like milk and cream. We would have to rock the tractor when first started.
Old oil and gas seems to stay mixed as we discard it but really never looked at it in a jar.
Wouldn't be a problem in a gas tractor though since the gas would go to the bottom and would get mixed as you drove around.
 
And if your mix fouls a plug or two you know you added too much oil.

Though I have never tried used oil, I've burned some really ugly smelling stuff from old gasoline, old #2 I would NOT show to the 70D, K1 yellowed like lemon aid and old saw gas in my early styled all fuel A. The A doesn't seem to mind these mixes a bit! Some stunk so bad I ran a different direction to use a cross wind to carry exhaust a different direction! Seems the really old gas was the worst smelling stuff but the A burned it without complaint.

The carb/manifold setup on Team Green burned it a lot better than Team Red. Green never had to resort to the dual petcocks and drain a quart/add a quart to get distillate or Kero to burn.
