I need to find someone with a waste oil burner, I have a lot of old oil to get rid of.

 

I had a friend who had one in a welding shop, but he became a victim of the economy and had to close up.

 

cant you just take it to an auto store?

A waste oil burner does 2 things. It gives free heat to whomever you are giving your oil to. (God that's an awkward sentence.) And, it removes a hazardous waste from the waste stream, immediately. There's no further transportation or disposal costs involved. Typically, guys with a waste oil burner are glad to have more oil - and those burners will burn anything from light oils to heavy hydraulic and gear oils.

I probably have 100 - 150 gallons of waste oil, the auto parts store will not take that much.

Most towns/counties have a chemical waste day. They take used oil for free.

 

 

I use to do a lot of car work, but I have slowed down over the years. In the past all my cars where project cars. I have found its just to much of a pain in the butt to have a car that is unrealiable. One day I will get another project car, when I have the time and money to dedicate to it.

 

My worst repair to date was when I had my 87 Toyota Supra Turbo. One day I go to leave for work and it wont start. It cranks, but wont start. So I call in sick and the fun begins. Over the next couple of days I check everything. Battery, spark system, fuel system, Fuses etc. I give it one last try and it still doesn't start, but this time I see a puff of smoke from the intake side of the motor. So I go looking under the intake manifold and see a melted mess of wires. Part of the wiring harness that was clipped to the intake manifold fell down and rested against the block. Well the next 4 hours where spent sitting on top of the motor cutting out sections of wire and soldiering in new sections. It was something like 30 wires. Not fun.
