Read somewhere that if you mix 85% used motor oil with 15% gas you get a form of diesel fuel that can run most diesel vehicles? ANyone have info on this?

I am me,
I am free,
You can not change me.
If you try, you will see,
That I am unchangeable,
Because I am me.
A diesel engine will run on just about anything combustible that can be injected into the combustion chamber.
So yes, it is doable.
Older mechanical diesels (4BT/6BT, 6.2 Detroit, etc) will be more reliable with mixed fuels due to simplicity.
Gasoline is a solvent, and will eat away at the pumps and seals in a diesel fuel system, so don't plan on extended longevity when using a 15% mixture.
Make sure you filter the crap out of it before dumping it in the tank.
