People running used oil in diesel engines aren't making it into diesel fuel... they're running it straight. It requires the oil to be thoroughly strained, heated, and, above all, it can only be run in a pre-DPF engine, as running anything other than #2 Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel will clog a diesel particulate filter in no time flat, to the point where it won't be able to be cleaned out by regeneration, and thus, you'll end up having to replace the DPF filter.
