yes if its straight with no mix it may be a git on a v cold morning, if used oil make sure you heat and filter it to remove crap and water, and change fuel filter twice a year

i thought that you had to purify it in a machine that takes 12/24 hrs to do 5 gallons, not sure if you have to add something too
