Re: block treatment

[Richard Clough]

My sump oil disposal method is similar. I dilute the sump oil with kero and spray it with a cheap kero spray gun onto wooden paling fences.   It leaves palings and rails a nice dark colour and makes your fence last forever.  Environmentally friendly too. If you have a diesel engine in the family and buy oil by the 20 litre drum, its better to take the waste to the oil recyclers, as fences can only absorb so much and diesel sump oil is thick as. ----- Original Message ----- From: mark krawczuk To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 11 January 2002 1:45 AM Subject: Re: block treatment ahhhhh , just empty it out in ya back yard, thats where  sump oil from about 15 oil changes is  in our place along the fence posts to stop the termites.    mark k   ----- Original Message ----- From: andrew smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 10:41 PM Subject: Re: block treatment When we were kids we used to clean out the expansion chambers on the motorcross bikes with caustic soda after every race meet.The exhaust note was allways nice and crisp after.I wont say where we poured the left over caustic soda.

They are “hot tanked” in a hot sprayed very caustic solution in a machine very similar to a home dishwasher. You cannot get as good a job at home.

(how many parts soda to how many parts water etc) how long should I leave a block in for? can the rods be dipped too? mine are covered in crap from lying around the workshop I got em from.
