I heat my shop with it. I have a pump set at about 1/2 gph and feed it into
a old wood stove . start a wood fire and turn on the pump and the wood acts
as a wick. only down side is if the fire is not hot enough you can get an
oily soot out the stack

It would be a diesel engine; there is an old farmer round here who got a
couple of thousand gallons of old transformer oil when the electricity
utility did an oil change on a substation; he's been running his diesel
Toyota Hilux on it, admittedly with a little smoke...
