Default Re: Sump Oil as Fuel

Steam engine boilers can use sump oil. Historic steamships here such as "South Steyne" use recycled sump oil in their boilers. Modern steam engines have been developed for shipping. They won't be widespread until the price of oil goes through the roof. Steam engines are also used in industrial applications but I'm not familiar with how widespread the use of recycled oil is as fuel for these.
