I use our sump fuel alll the time, it goes in the equipment and the oil burner furnace. For the Diesels, I just mix some cheap motor oil in with it. I have seen no performance problems or maintenance problems. As long as you give the fuel some lubricity, there is no problem. I do not measure it precisely, or stick with the same brand/type of oil either. Ususlly it is what people give me, as in unused oil found in the cellar or shed that I won"t put in the motor, or if I have to buy it I just get the cheapest stuff around. A side note regarding burning it in your torpedo heater. I do not do this since the torpedo heaters concentrate the exhaust where you are working and jet fuel (our"s anyway) has Prist or some other FSII added to it and that crap is way nasty in its plain form. I"m sure its bad enough to breathe the fumes from a torpedo heater anyway, I just don"t wanna add to it. Just my opinion though.
