[QUOTE=aklim]That depends. Is the oil he is dumping in synthetic or regular. You cannot mix the two of them or the flame in the heater will burn funny.

If you grease the electrons, you will reduce resistance and it will heat your house faster. Pour some of the oil on the electric heaters.

Seriously, even if it could be rejetted, unless you are running a lube shop and have access to tons of used oil, what good is it?[/

Used oil is a commodity, you just have to know where to buy it. Companies that are paid to haul it away from operations like Jiffy Lube, etc. will deliver it to you if you have a big enough tank to warrant the trip. I would imagine that with heating oil rising you will see more and more of this. Still, just pouring a few gallons in the house tank is a simple way to dispose of it. RT
