Elf n safety gone mad these days. How do they think all the oil wound up underground in the first place? 
Exactly, recycling at its best...Elf n safety gone mad these days. How do they think all the oil wound up underground in the first place?
You’ll note it’s’Popular’ science, and not ‘Proper’ science……
It’s not even ‘science’…and ThikTok has now taken over the role of promoting stupid/dangerous/false ‘lifehacks’.
Just think of all the exhaust fumes I emitted driving my old oli to the local recycling centre. No more. Thank you top scientists at popular science magazine for that environ mental tip.
I recycle old oil by diluting it with diesel and painting the fence panels 
Beats pouring it down the drain, of course I would never have countenanced such a thing, oh to be young again!
Used to mix the old oil with creosote for painting the fence ~ gave the fence a nice dark colourI recycle old oil by diluting it with diesel and painting the fence panels
Used to do that to the pallets (i.e. creosote & oil) we used for building our bonfires (decades ago)...and we may, possibly, allegedly have hidden rolls of Chinese firecrackers in there on occasion.
We're lucky if we can light a sparkler or set off some cat2 fountains on bonfire night nowadays without neighbours complaining...so I'd hate to think what medical event they'd suffer had they been living here when we used to set off the 3-4" mortars
