First as Dave said, Used oil, (I sometimes mixed with a little Kerosene, or Fuel oil), spread out over the floor boards of the 2 wood floor trailers in the fall.
Also the wood handles on the rakes/hoes/shovels, in the fall, before they are put away for the winter.
Also, of the, ’top’ of the, flat topped’, posts, (which were in before I got here), (I was always taught that ANY, fence post should be rounded, or cut at a angle on top, to make the rain/snow, run off rather than soak in.)
Also, have a area, I park, trailers and etc on. Use a old garden watering can, and, sprinkle the oil over that area, (no weeds/grass grow)
Around, next to, buildings, (no weeds). Pour against fence posts, the side, so it soak in the wood, and slowly moves down the post.
Used to be a fellow, at a, little lake cabin the family had when I was a child. He would sprinkle, the used oil on the gravel driveway, kept the dust down. After many years, it was as solid as a black top, (tar road).
Don’t use it in the chain saw oilier, it just does NOT work as well as the, ‘Bar Oil’, specifically designed to NOT, throw off, at high speed. BUT, I do, use it on the ‘beam’, of the splitter. Have a old paint brush, and, ‘paint’, it on all exposed surfaces, where the real paint has rubbed off. It retards the rusting of those surfaces. After every time I use the hydrolic splitter.
Or, take it to a place, that burns oil for heat, they will be glad to take it for free.
And check into, some States, anyplace, that Sells New oil, MUST, take, Used oil, in at NO Charge
Now, putting used oil on the ground, according to some in the guberment, is bad. But after the, Guberment, ’spilled’, MILLIONS of gallons, of VERY toxic water into a river, which for 100’s of miles has effected, (KILLED), All Wildlife, (Fish/Fowl/Hoved), and Domestic animals, and the drinking water of 100’s of Thousands of people, and said: "No Problem”. I don’t think they would have much to say, about a gallon or so, on the ground, to kill weeds.
