When changing the oil in the engine or transmission of a car, the waste product is usually thrown away. But a good owner is sorry to throw away what money was once paid for. Moreover, old oil can still do a good job.
Instructions
Step 1
Although used oil is no longer suitable for use in a car, it does not lose its lubricating properties. It can be used to lubricate bicycles, tools, door hinges, locks, and even chainsaws, unless prohibited by the instruction manual.
Step 2
Waste oil is used to impregnate railway sleepers to protect them from deterioration. On the farm, in the same way, you can soak boards and beams, posts for fences, cellars, lower crowns of wooden buildings, rough floors with waste oil. Moreover, not only wooden, but also bituminous surfaces can be impregnated with mining.
Step 3
Old oil is great for starting fires and keeping the flame going. If the farm regularly accumulates large volumes of used oil, it makes sense to purchase a stove-stove, working on mining. However, keep in mind that during the combustion of mining, vapors of zinc, lead, manganese and other harmful substances are released. So, do not fry a kebab on a fire from old butter, but the room he heats must have good ventilation.
Step 4
From the experience of foreign firms, one can note the rich experience of oil processing by firms specializing in truck maintenance. The drained oil is processed into heating oil, motor fuel, coke or bitumen. The profitability of such production reaches 120%.
Step 5
You can try to process old oil into suitable for use yourself, under normal conditions. To do this, take a container and fill it 2/3 full of used oil and bring to a boil. Then pour in water glass (calcium silicate or sodium silicate) in the amount of 10% of the existing oil. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Then carefully drain the resulting product so that the sediment completely remains in the old dish. The resulting product will be a refined oil, quite suitable for reuse.
Step 6
If you have an old military diesel truck, the fuel can be diluted with used oil. It should be remembered that the harmful components contained in old oil slowly but surely wear out the engine. Therefore, the method is suitable for very old engines, which are not a pity to break. In the United States, biodiesel is produced from waste oil, which many diesel engines run on without problems. To make biodiesel, oil is mixed with methanol and potassium or sodium hydroxide. After heating to 60 degrees, it is defended and filtered.
Step 7
Even if none of the described uses of the oil is suitable, it can simply be taken to an old oil collection point for recycling. Recently, there are a lot of such points, so it will not be difficult to get money from the sale of unnecessary oil. The only drawback is that these establishments usually only handle large quantities of lubricants.
