Would ordinary oil recyclers take the stuff, since you've burned
up the good parts and left them the bad parts?
Of course you could just pour it into a gallon of regular used oil and
take it to the recycling center and pout it into the tank without them
knowing, just like lots of people dispose of their old brake fluid etc.
I'm just curious what's "supposed" to happen.
How efficient are these heater units? Are they easy to
get started, i.e. for a shop that needs heat only infrequently?
