The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Quarter Century Old Fuel, Where’s it goin’?

Around here we do like Pete said. I mix any waste gas in with the 10gal used oil jug and take it to the recycling place and dump it in the big oil tank. I do this with other stuff from paint thinner to purple power.

Several years ago when I was working we sent our waste alcohol and oil ect to a place I believe was somewhere around New Castle Kentucky??? They would "cook it off" and seperate certain chemicals but "most" of it went to the steel mills to fire the furnaces..... but you know what has happened to most steel mills.
I worked at "the big shop" once for tractor trailer gasoline transporters and we used all the old oil and anything else that would burn in the shops furnace. We had a lot of it to!!

We should just make sure we don't dump it on the ground like I use to when changing oil about 50 years ago. You know, pull it across a ditch and drop the plug... unless we saved it to put on an old dog with the mange.
