    They’ll come and suck it out of barrels, but have a 150 gallon minimum.

    They give you a receipt that covers you with EPA for disposal.

    Problem is it takes me forever to hit their 150 gallon mark.

    I used to have an account with Jenkins Diesel, for filters, till they reviewed it and told me I was too small. The rep apologized, and said they sell to Prime at half the cost they sell to me.

    That’s when I went to my mechanic. He gets a good discount from Napa, and just orders what I need. I’ll get 6 of everything at once, generator, lawnmower, truck - saves me a bunch.

    To much. You need a small fleet of trucks to generate enough oil. Lots of maintaince. However when they run right, boy do they put the heat out.

    I have ran two shops on them. Fleet of 50 produced enough oil 2 shifts of heat all winter. Fleet of 18 and outside repairs 24 hours a day did not We spent all summer getting oil. Had guys certified to collect. We went to every dealer and oil change shop in town for free. We got it for free and they didn't pay out for removal.

    When your burning other peoples used oil. You have to watch out for moisture and gas contamination. Both can be a big problem. On top of the acidity of burnt oil ash laying in heat exchange tubes. They rust out really fast if you don't keep the ash out.

    No in January at it was zero outside and you wanted 80° in the shop to paint. It would and didnt cost you much.

    Directed to everyone, yes a few ebay vendors have been doing just that, selling crap from China.

    this isn’t new or uncommon,

    I'll be on the lookout now. Never heard of a counterfeit Fleetguard filter.

    Now, if someone can tell me where I can get good pricing on Meritor shocks...
