I guess I'm not sure if I understand your question, but adding used motor oil to diesel oil has been done for many years. That's where all my used oil goes - but in my situation, just in my farm off-road diesel tank. Technically, I don't know if it legal for road use or not. In many other countries, it is NOT legal, since overseas - there is usually a "blanket law" that states ANY fuel for a road vehicle must be taxed - including bio fuel. Now, in this country - i.e. USA, bio fuel - e.g. cooking grease IS still legal. So, it seems that used motor oil is also. But, since just a little used oil blackens a lot of fuel - it could lead to problems if a road dip-check was ever done. I've put as little as five gallons of used oil in my 1000 gallon diesel tank and had it all turn color.
If you look in the early 80s Chevrolet owner's manual for diesel pickup trucks - it mentions the common practice of many truck stops having used motor oil mixed in their fuel.
