USED OIL

out here i store it in 55 gallon drums, when i get 2 or 3 of them there is a truck out of el paso tx that will come suck the oil out, but it must be oil, i cant put water antifreeze ect in the drum, i normaly only need a pickup twice a year now, that i sold my big truck,
 
I use it as bar oil in all my chain saws, I mix it with my diesel fuel to run in tractors, and use it along with wood to boil maple syrup. Any oil with water in it I bring down town to friend's auto repair shop. He runs it in his waste-oil heating system.
 
I use mine for the Chainsaw, and burning in the firepit for bondfires. I have also used it for cutting oil on my Bridgeport at work.
 
I have afriend in town that heats his shop with it. I only generate a 50 gallon barrel every couple o f years, but he's glad to get it.
 
I paint the wooden gutters every Fall, treat the floors on the manure spreader and hay wagons.
The rest goes to a friend for shop heat.
 
My auto parts store takes it. I suppose they in-turn sell it but it is out of my hair.
I think the laws vary state by state. I know they do with oil filter disposal. Some states simply require filiers to be drained, other states require them to be crushed to remove as much oil as possible.
 
Our town garage has an oil burner so the transfer station where we take our garbage will take all the used oil they can get.
 
Never tried it but fella worked for Edison. Had 3 Mercedes Benz cars. Said drain oil put in 55 gallon drum cover. After a year or so, scoop out enough to change oil. Supposed all sediment and bad stuff went to the bottom. Several drums, never buy oil after initial supply. Did this for 30 years. Never had a car problem. Don't know whether I believe or not, but he was a very honest and straight guy. How about it???Dave
 
I give the used oil to a freind for his oil burner and I burn the filters in my coal heater in shop then sell burned out filters for scrap.
 
Had mine picked up a couple of weeks ago. Close to 400 Gals. Also picked up used antifreeze. The company I deal with doesn't charge to pick it up, but they don't give anything for it either. They do give you a receipt for the gallons picked up, in case the EPA man comes along. Good trade-off for me.
 
Have three cb 25 cleanburn oil heater. Heat the shops well. Usually burn upwards of 1500 to 2,000 gal each winter.
 
My petroleum jobber takes it and gives me a receipt. He sends it out to recycling, small refinery an hour or so away uses it for feed stock mixed in with crude oil. I buy engine and hydraulic oil in 55 gallon drums, use one empty drum for the waste oil. Initially I used a 55 gallon methanol barrel but now that Im going I always have at least one empty.

Im in the CSP progream with NRCS and recycling oil is one of the practices I signed up for as an incentive. I'd like to use some around here to oil wagon and trailer decks but they monitor my in and out so it has to be accounted for.
 
Around here Used oil is diluted somewhat and sprayed thru the wa@ner power painter on rusty equipment before or after use ,,, Cant Believe more fellas are not doin this ,.stops rust ,,equipment left outside weathers paint much less and is friendly to wrenchin when necessary, ,6monthes later water still beads up and slides off stuff outside , , i keep the spray painter handy ,,,
 
The best way to get rid of it is to find a working shop (auto, machine, etc.) that uses a heater designed to run on used oil. It saves the owner plenty of money in utilities.
 
I sent the kids around one year and had them soak the top of all the wood fence posts around the cattle lot. Used about 5 gals. Any where wood makes contact with manure gets soaked up real good with old oil.Open flight elevator and silage wagon chains get plenty. I got a couple hundred gals in reserve for some unknown upcoming reason. My kids will probably have a hell of a time getting rid of it when I am dead.
 
I use all I can find in my waste oil furnace. I could use another thousand gallons a year if I could find it.
