Can used engine oil be used as fuel? Yes. However, it is not recommended to use used engine oil directly as fuel without proper treatment, because it is a byproduct of engine combustion and contains pollutants such as carbon, metals and unburned hydrocarbons. These impurities can damage the engine and clog the fuel system. In addition, used engine oil releases toxic emissions such as sulfur oxides and particulate matter during combustion, which pollutes the environment. Therefore, it is best to use used engine oil as fuel after refining or processing.
How DOING distillation machines achieve the conversion of used engine oil to fuel
1. DOING offers two advanced solutions for recycling used engine oil into fuel with a variety of processing capacities:1/3/5/7/10/14ton
① Traditional Acid-Base Washing Distillation System: It first uses acid to react with certain impurities in the used engine oil, breaking down and removing them. Then, a base is added to neutralize the remaining acid and further purify the oil.
② Solid Catalyst Distillation System: Uses DOING patented catalyst to convert used engine oil into diesel that can be burned. This not only reduces energy consumption but also shortens the processing time. Moreover, compared with the acid - base washing method, the solid catalyst type produces less waste, making it more environmentally friendly.

2.Step-by-step process of DOING distillation machines:
①Pretreatment of used engine oil:
Impurity removal: For the used engine oil with high solids content, sludge and particles can be removed by filtration or sedimentation.
Dehydration: For the used engine oil with high water content, it can be used with DOING dehydration tank to remove any water that may be present in the used engine oil.
②Distillation:
After a series of procedures of heating, condensation, distillation, you can obtain engine oil that can be used as fuel.
③Post-Treatment:
Decolorization: The recycled used engine oil may still have some color due to the remaining impurities. DOING uses activated white clay to remove the color, resulting in a clear and clean fuel - grade oil.

3.Applications of recycled engine oil
①It can be used as a fuel source for heating systems in industrial places such as power plants, cement kilns and boilers to generate heat or electricity.
②It can be mixed with other fuels (such as diesel) for use in diesel engines.

4.The advantages to recycling used engine oil:
①Cost Savings: Using recycled oil as fuel can reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels, slash fuel expenses by 30–50% compared to conventional diesel.
②Environmental Impact: Recycling used oil reduces waste and the need for new oil production, conserving natural resources and preventing pollution.
③Energy Recovery: Burning used oil for energy is a form of resource recovery, helping to minimize environmental harm.
