and inserted the New oil.
Where can we dump/throw the old black engine oil?
what are our options?
and in the SKIP, they we just pour it down a hole, in the Skip tank? or they take the black oil in bottles?

Your local recycling centre should have a waste oil container, you just empty your bottle into it.0

Your local "civic amenity site" will have BIG oil bucket for you to pour your oil into
Google
"(name of your council) Civic amenity site"
e.g.

Why would you want to?0

It is illegal (and highly irresponsible/anti-social) to pour it down the drain, a 'hole'.
Take it to your council's recycling centre.0 -
Don't some people save it and use it for creosote?0
-
My neighbour has used it to paint all his wooden fences and gate. Have to say looks very good and ages exceptionally well. Does not smell ike nasty creosote either.
Some also use it try and kills root stumps by drilling. My dad used to do it in our garden peior to most of the population becoming environmental consultants. Cant remember if it ever worked but now its seen as very bad.0 -
Strain it through a sock and add some white spirit and you have made diesel substitute.0

Only if it's an "offending neighbours" tree.:o
I buy oil for the "family" in 25ltr containers. When I've filled one of these with waste oil I take it to my local garage, he tips it into a 40gallon drum and gives me a clean container back. He then sells the oil back to the recycler. Keeps me well in with him, and is the best solution all round I think.
He used to burn it to heat the workshop but has a new system now.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0
