Cornelius, Be very careful. Used motor oil contains heavy metals which can classify it as a hazardous waste. Often special permits are needed to burn it as fuel. Failure to get ALL of these permits are financially devastating. If you remove these heavy metals the waste product containing them is definately considered hazardous waste and MUST be disposed of properly. Don't try to short cut proper disposal as you will be caught and the results are financially devastating.
I would suggest: 1.You contact your state and local pollution control agencies to see what the pollution control requirments are on burning waste motor oil...and what legislation may be comming down the pike. 2.You contact others who currently burn waste oil to see what thye do about permits, etc. Many asphalt plants burn waste engine oil. I would start there. Be careful. Good luck. Dana Linscott --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Let's suppose that I had a very large supply of used > motor oil. Say several > RR tank cars a week.
