Long story short I have about 60 gallons of used motor oil...I thought about trying to build a forced air furnace and use it for fuel...but is there anything else I can do with it?

I've seen on YouTube where guys have made burners to heat their garage. If I lived in a super cold climate, I'd seriously consider it.

Dispose at an auto store or county/city recycling facility. It may take more than one trip.
|
|
Give to a shop that uses an oil burner to heat. Around here most use it. Has to be free of water/coolant.
|
|
Town transfer station takes it for free here. They have a big metal thing you dump it into.
|
|
We used to spray it on the driveway to keep the dust down. Worked pretty good.
|
|
If you have any wooden structures such as a barn I have been told that it works well poured around the posts and anyplace else that the ground contacts it as a good way to prevent termite damage, keeps weeds down to.......
Well that's what i heard anyway....... |
|
Take a few gallons to autozone everyday till it's gone. They take oil free
|
|
|
|
We give it away to a guy who has a waste oil furnace.
Don't dump it, someone will get use out of it. |
|
Wait till earth day
Pour it on top of a bunch of used tires to get the fire started |
|
Put it one some tires to help burn the brush pile
or so I was told... |

I dunno, here I can put out 5 gallons with my recycling every other week.
|
|
Waste oil furnace or find a large shop who gets their oil recycled for free.
I get our 500 gallon waste tank drained about once every 3 months. The recycling company takes the oil for free and charges me for filters. I wouldn't care if you wanted to dump it in my waste oil tank if you also showed up with tacos... |
|
Anyone with a waste oil furnace would be glad to have it. Lots of auto-repair places have them. (In the north anyway)
|
|
Find someone with a used oil burner. Car and truck garages would be the most common place to locate something like that.
I am installing an outdoor furnace for a guy in a couple weeks that has a used oil back up on it. |

Mechanics garages take the oil to be recycled and they get money for it. Just ask your local garage where to take it, or give it to them if you don't want the money.

Invite strippers over for some oil wrestling, charge your buddies to come over and watch... Profit
|
|
First, pour some in any static water pools (tires, puddles, neighbors pool, etc) to keep the mosquito population down, then worry about getting rid of the rest.
|
|
Throw it in a back pack pesticide sprayer and go for a night time walk, spray cars, bushes and write cuss words in yards.

I always found it interesting you can't dispose of motor oil in the ground...
Yet it came from the ground... |

Get an air compressor and 'seal' senior citizens' asphalt driveways at 5k a pop. Promptly disappear once you get paid.
