Used engine oil in fuel was done origionally to disguise red deisel ,oops shouldent have told you that! Diesels run happily on engine oil (when truck turbos let go they pick up on the oil and rev to destruction) but as with cooking oil if the mix is too heavy you risk fuel pump damage in cold...

Hi I know this is going to sound unlikely but having been here before Check the breather to the float chamber is not melted or blocked good fuel delivery wont help if your float chamber cannot vent , Rebuilt an engine because of this exact fault some years ago only to find melted breather...
