Engine Oil

ENGINE OIL
Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be recommended only for units of approved design. The heating system must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution for small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt, check with the appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the approved appliance.

Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites or to the waste oil reclamation trade.

If in doubt contact the local authority for advice on disposal facilities.

It is illegal to pour used oil onto the ground down sewers or drains or into water courses.

The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
