<div dir="ltr"><div>That is definitely worth consideration, Spencer. In my case, I'm quite friendly with the employees at our transfer station. I've run quite a large number of truckloads of brush (several dozen, over time) down there to the brushpile/composting operation, and they got to know me well. I almost-not-quite got my own key to the place. I'm getting off on a tangent, but, that is one reason I don't burn brush. For a while there while we were clearing land, I was producing more brush than I would have the time or patience to burn. I pile it in the pickup and pack it down with the loader bucket until I've got a sizable load, and they usually help pull it off with their backhoe. Anyway this is a waste-oil story. They tell me that the hauler who picks up their tank periodically is selling it for burning, not re-refining. This makes me pretty comfortable with hiding a gallon of diesel in, oh, probably 10-ish gallons of used motor oil (I have a bunch of 2-gallon jugs I use to collect my waste oil).</div><div><br></div><div>If all goes well, my co-worker who has done a lot of brush burning in the past has more ahead of him, and he will take it.

Steve do you change your own oil? If so mix it in and bring it to a
recycle station. Around here most Tractor Supply and O'reilly parts
store take used oil. technically diesel is an oil true?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks everyone, so far. This has nothing to do
with frugality. It's like $3.00 worth of fuel. This is more
about the only two choices I'm seeing at the moment: burn it;
or store it for a relatively long time until I can get around to
disposing of it properly. As for use as a degreaser, I use
mineral spirits for that. Trailer decking, I don't own a
trailer. As for brush burning, I don't. I either shred brush
or cart it to my local transfer station who has a big brush-pile
and chipper/composting operation.<br>

<div>I recently discovered I have a diesel fuel leak,
and while trying to find time for diagnosis and
repair, I started parking the tractor over a big
drip-pan. The pan collected roughly a gallon over the
course of ... well, I can't say precisely but around a
week or two. That fuel dripped thru the normal grime
found on engines, so it's pretty dirty. (And I since
discovered that turning off the fuel petcock
effectively controls the leak)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have filtered it multiple times. First thru
paper towel; clogged three or four getting that done.
Next thru coffee filters, again, it took 4 to finish
the job. Finally thru a Covid mask (regular surgical
type not N95). That one never clogged and captured
very minimal additional material.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I have now is therefore free of particulate
big enough to catch in coffee filters and surgical
masks. It remains discolored; if fresh diesel was the
color of Budweiser, this stuff looks like a nice brown
ale.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What says the list? Burn it? Will the tractor's
fuel filter take out everything big enough to cause
problems with the pump or injectors? (Seems like that
should be a design criteria for that filter, no?) If
I do burn it, I will dilute it about 5:1 with fresh
fuel. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I don't burn it, it will eventually be carted
away to our local Hazardous Waste Day held annually
about 25 miles from here - I manage to remember and
get over there only about once every 3-5 years.</div>
