5.3.2 FUEL ADDITIVES THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED
The following fuel additives are NOT allowed:
Used Lubricating Oil – Detroit Diesel specifically prohibits the use of drained lubricating oil in
diesel fuel. Used lubricating oil contains combustion acids and particulate materials, which erode
injector components, resulting in loss of power and increased exhaust emissions. In addition,
the use of drained lubricating oil will increase maintenance requirements due to filter plugging
and combustion deposits.
