Why does oil go in the fuel tank on a 96f250 ford with 7.3 powerstroke?

Oil should absolutely not go in the fuel tank of a 1996 Ford F250 with a 7.3 Powerstroke diesel engine. Doing so will severely damage the engine. Diesel fuel and engine oil are completely different and incompatible substances.

If someone told you to put oil in the fuel tank, they are completely wrong. This is a serious mistake that could lead to catastrophic engine failure. The fuel system is designed for fuel only. Adding oil will clog fuel injectors, contaminate the fuel system, and potentially ruin the entire engine.

If you're experiencing a problem with your truck, seek professional help from a qualified mechanic. Do not attempt any repairs based on this incorrect information.
