Used Lubricating Oil; Fuel Additives With Sulfur Or Sulfated Ash; Gasoline; How To Replace The Fuel Filter/Water Separator Filters - Detroit Diesel MBE 900 Operator's Manual

Used Lubricating Oil — Do not use
fuel blended with used lubricating oil.
Detroit Diesel specifically prohibits
the use of used lubricating oil in diesel
fuel.
NOTICE:
Burning used lubricating oil in
fuel cannot be tolerated as it will
cause the diesel particulate filter to
prematurely plug with ash.
Used lubricating oil contains
combustion acids and particulate
materials which can severely erode
fuel 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.
Fuel Additives with Sulfur
or Sulfated Ash — Do not
use non-approved fuel additives
containing sulfur or sulfated ash.
Gasoline — The addition of
gasoline to diesel fuel will create a
serious fire hazard. The presence
of gasoline in diesel fuel will reduce
fuel cetane number and increase
combustion temperatures.

it determines resulted from adding
