Default Disposal/recycling of waste oil

Does anyone know of an economical way of either using this waste for
heating purposes or a more economical method of disposal.


Waste oil heaters have been available for years. I don't mean the
workshop heaters, I mean pressure jet /syphon burners that use waste
oil. They're not cheap - around the £2K mark, but with that amount of
waste oil to burn in one, it would pay for itself quickly.


Looking here
http://www.wasteoilheaters.co.uk/was...il-heater.html

it would seem that burning 2 litres an hour generates 60,000btu. So running
it 40 hours a week gives the OP 2 years free heating just from the oil he
already has. Not bad for a £1000 outlay on a heater.
