...and thought I'd ask around here.

Anyone in the Bucksport, Maine area has any waste oil, I am looking to heat my shop once I make the huge oil burner purchase.

Some truckers are filtering their waste oil and mixing it into their fuel. It replaces Diesel on a one for one effect and Diesel is approaching $5.00 a gallon. A gallon a day is about $1,000 a year.

Check the Free for the Taking section in Uncle Henry's. There's been been someone giving away waste oil almost every week lately.

I collect each week from a local restaurant.

They 'use' 15 gallons of deep fat fry oil each week [three 5-gallon jugs]. Every week they empty 10 gallons of dirty oil [two 5-gallon jugs], and one jug with a mixture of oil, water and soap.

There is a good 4.5 gallons of oil that is absorbed into their fried food each week.

Ahhh, thank you for reminding me. I will check.
I am looking for waste engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and gear oil.
