i recycle all of my oil.... be it in the tank or at the parts store..... however back in the day when my uncles used to Log they would dig a big ol hole, drive the skidder over the hole and drain the oil in it.... fill er back up and fill the hole in.

 

I flush the stuff down the toilet, Got tired of the smell of diesel in the garden.

 

use it to fill in pot holes

 

I'm sure you do. lol...

 

mine helps my garbage burn use a little and it burns everything in the burn barrel, my granddad uses it to keep the dust down in the driveway

 

is used in a waste oil burner to heat shop.

 

I live close to a refinery, and they have an oil dump facility that supposedly runs the waste oil back through the cat cracker. I have been told that when it was originally opened up that it was for employess as well as the general public. But, they dont advertise it, and the site is inside the fence and past the guard gate.

I need to check into it, becuase I have 2-55gal drums full, and am beginning to fill up 5 gallon buckets!

later...

 

that is exactly what my dad did too, he would have me pour it around the shop on the wood seal, he said it would keep termites out i do not know how true that is but i did it. this is the first diesel in my family so we only had to deal with 5 qts. having to dispose of 3gal is one reason i let MR Lube change it now the other is time

 

you own a 12 valve, so you potentially are sitting on 110 + gallons of fuel!!!! At nearly 5 bucks a gallon, that is 550 dollars.

buy yourself a ½ micron filter sock and drip that waste motor oil "WMO" thru the sock and pour it into your truck's fuel tank. It will NOT know the difference! I know 2 guys who are currently doing this with no problems for several years now. They also run used hydraulic oil in their trucks.

A lot of you guys with 12 valves, especially the older mechanically injected ones, can run WMO at like 60%. It has more BTU's when burned, than diesel fuel.

 

What's are you guys changing the oil in? I don't get waste oil from anything around my house. JK

 

I always used to save it all up and dump it into our waste oil heater at work. Now that I got our wood boiler goin I dump some in there occasionally to keep her hot. I'd like to find some kind of pump to where I can just dump it into a barrel and inject it right into the fire.

 

Gotta teach these yankees everything. The red neck central heating system is a barrel with a door, some bar b cue lava rock for the bed and a copper line running over it with a valve and the oil higher than the stove. You crack the oil line and light it, the lava rock gets hot and vaproizes the oil as it drips down. Worked in one dealership where this was the heat system for a very big building.

 

Oh yeah you need a stove pipe if you want to breathe too,.

 

You are too funny, you can breath carbon monoxide for a little while!!!

 

Since so many placed take waste oil now (parts stores or city facilities) it's really hard to justify not taking it in.

If I can recycle it, anyone can.
