Instead of dumping your used oil, why not use it for heating? You can burn all types of oil – gear, vegetable, engine, hydraulic, transmission, biodiesel, etc.
This heater/stove can be built easily with spare parts and provide you with heat without cost.
My Dad made one of these back in the 80s.. It worked good, but you had to have a little wood in it to burn.
Some times i wish i had a fire place or a wood stove or kettle type of thing in my house, i rent so theres no building anything of the sort. Im tired of paying the PUD fortunes during the winter months for heat.

We had a big one at an auto shop I used to work at. We burned all our used motor oil
My late uncle used to collect used oil from service stations. He had a steep hill above his place and and filled a “filter” with gravel and some kind of sand. He never had to use anything else except his two fire places for heat in the Wisconsin winters.
Tranny shops up north have done this all my life!
