Hi

Just take it down the local tip

Mind you they have a sign up saying no trade waste. Charlotte took a load down once and says she got some odd looks while dumping 95 litres of oil into the waste oil container

All the best

95 litres! where the hell did all that come from? surely you dont get through that much oil?

[Kickstart]

Hi

95 litres was about 1~2 years worth I think. I have about 40 litres of used oil floating round at the moment I think

With 4 four stroke bikes needing oil changes (say 3 litres each on average), plus the cars (4.5 litres for each of the Alfas, 6.5 litres for the Maserati), plus occasionally doing neighbours cars (so that is another few cars that get done) I go through a fair amount

Tend to buy the oil fom the local BP depot is 20 litre drums

All the best

Keith

says the man who just bought 1/4 tonne of Titanium

With a Bimota and a Maserati, he's definately not doing badly for himself.

[kev]

the titanium was only £40

i didnt actually know you were meant to dump it in a special way... i usually just poor it down the drain. I only use 600ml every couple of months so it isnt that bad

i assume its damaging to the environment or something? could you not just stick it in a plastic bottle seal it and then chuck it out with the normal rubbish? that ends up at the tip anyway.

[kev]

brace yourself your just about to get moaned at

Hi

Not meant to dump it in the rubbish as it lands up in landfill sites, leaks out and sticks oil into the ground water.

The stuff they take down the dump will be reused, either as cheap engine oil or as heating oil

All the best
