I wonder if a diesel engine can run on oil vapors (ducted in with the intake air)
@cjd Didn't someone try to do that, but mysteriously got murdered by the oil industry?
That wasn't oil vapors, that was water...
I'd like to be able to burn off used motor oil in a diesel generator and make use of its energy content. I don't want to send it through the injection pump because then I have to clean it, so my answer is to cover the exhaust pipe with a shroud and then drip oil onto it and suck the oil vapors into the air intake of the engine to be burned with the diesel...

I just like the concept that you can put basically anything that's somewhat liquid-ish and has the potential to burn. Waste vegetable oil with chunks of french fries in it, sure. Used motor oil with metal chips, no problem...
