My grandfather used to kill the weeds along his fence line with it.



I had a farm landlord that wanted all the waste oil to spray the gravel road in front of their house with to keep the dust down

Being a trashy redneck from podunkville, as a kid I was instructed to move the vehicle to the edge of the property and pull the drain plug. Catch pan? We dont need no stinking catch pan

I keep an 18" auger on the back of my tractor during hunting season. Makes it easy to get rid of deer and hog guts and bones. Its like the perfect size.

Many people keep the used oil (and used hydraulic fluid) for burning in shop heaters. Just doing our part to override Gretas efforts.

I had an oldsmobile in college that process would work with. Burnt equal amounts of gas and oil.

"Dad retired from Citgo. He taught me how to properly dispose of used oils: always buy a house near a storm drain!"


Your grandfather should have been kicked in the nuts at an early age.

Yep sprayed all the wooden fence post and cross ties with an oil/diesel mix. Alot of those post are still standing. Better than creosote!
