Your the first person i have ever met who does not consider copper salts deadly in the aquatic environment,
Around here the main waste motor oil is from agricultural mechanics, so we tend to get a mix of engine oil,hydraulic fluid, break fluid and kind of stuff thrown in. Personally i wouldnt want to breathe in the fume from it.On a slight tangent - if you don't want to bother purifying oil and the space you are heating is large enough, you could get an original type Salamander; they will run on pretty much anything ...
Just let it run dry and chuck out the residue occasionally.
If you have not seen one, they are something approximating a pulse-jet style pipe set in a big oil bucket.
My father and older brother had these in their respective factory & workshops, a long time ago.

Completely disproves your somewhat worrying statement. With the greatest respect the following is based on concern and on advice i have received. I have shown some of your posts to someone highly qualified to make informed judgments, indeed they are paid a great deal to advise the court system and within the scientific community are of the highest regard. They have advised me to try and not engage to much with you, there is more than a little evidence to suggest you suffer from a delusional psychological condition.
This is not a smear by any means, but from all of the above, i think most rational people would feel uncomfortable reading your unsupported statements, although i should make it clear from a human perspective i do have considerable concern for your psychological welfare. It is somewhat unfortunate in conditions such as this, the sufferer is rarely aware apparently.
i do suspect however we will be subjected to low grade obfuscation semi literate ramblings with no supporting evidence, but i am open minded enough to wait and see.
I never said they were not deadly.
I stated that all things have an exposure limit threshold before they become a problem which is what the laws relating to their allowable limits are about.
Without exceeding the legally determined levels it is not considered toxic (Threshold limits) thusly making the claim that it is a moral superiority thing moot.
My moral actions and justifications are grounded in the laws as they stand based on scientific determinations

I am pretty sure you are grossly under qualified to diagnose, let alone seek or give professional advice for or on my or anyones mental conditions, imagined by you or otherwise, based solely on internet forum interactions we have had.
I indeed do which is why i check my facts and like inaccurate information corrected. Unfortunately when people dont fact check, or if there real knowledge on a subject is low. I feel the need to correct rubbish, otherwise someone needing accurate information may end up using your figures rather than the correct information.Now you on the other hand. Don't you legitimately have a bit of an aspergers and or ADHD/OCD issue?
And frankly, in MHO, unbecoming of the decorum normally maintained on this site...
(Also make sure shortbus gives me more dislikes and you more likes so that he can show his superior morals, or whatever the childish heck he thinks he has going against me now, with this new passive aggressive butthurt game of his.)
I am indeed trying, i have openly admitted i do not like bogus claims made in the name of science and knowledge to go unchallenged. Especially when simple checks would have given the correct information, to me i see it as a collective duty to try and ensure accurate information is presented, otherwise a site becomes as credible as a mike myers site and gains a reputation for poor knowledge.Any chance y'all can tone down the hyperbole a tad?
Really deflects the reader from the thread title ("uses-for-old-engine-or-cooking-oil").
Makes a mockery of stating you base your morals and views on scientific fact. That or you are not aware 0.5 is alot higher than 0.05??
What is subjective abut a peer reviewed scientific paper i posted in full? I have yet to see a single piece of evidence to support your claims, in this instance not even a mike myers site. I also posted the legal limits of copper, which are above the toxic levels. Now to take you back to the start, i said Legal and moral was not the same, i gave copper as an example, i posted both a peer reviewed scientific paper to support the toxicity of copper, and also posted the legal maximum discharge amount, which happens to be an order of magnitude above the lethal level for many organisms.Not really. Subjective false equative argumenting your way out of things doesn't make the laws universally bad and wrong.
Very strawman and poor example, there are NO legal limits for peanuts as they are not toxic, they cause harm to a group of people with an allergy to them, this is very different from a substance that is actually Toxic. For example there is a upper exposure limit for cyanide because this is toxic, it dosnt affect just a few people, it is a substance that has toxicity to everyone.For example. Peanut allergies can be fatal to some people but those people do not set the morally charged and legally defined standards of all peanuts being fatally toxic to all people and therefore the laws need to be rewritten to ban them from existence.
To my knowledge no one mentioned herbicides, however you did directly challenge my example of copper being aquatically toxic. You will find it difficult to find an aquatic organism that isnt sensitive to copper, this is why Tilapia were used, they happen to be one of the less supcetable organisms.Same with herbicides, some are 100% fatally toxic to certain plants in insanely tiny quantities but not to all plants at that level and not to all organisms at similar levels.
You're subjectively weasel wording to try and make your claims look more valid and justified, and mine less, than what the laws and reality stand for and we both know it.
I know full well how this subjective false equative reasoning game to falsely justify feeling of moral and intellectual superiority works so why continue to play it? You wont change my views
Clearly if this were indeed true, we would have seen scientific evidence to support your case? Peanuts and herbicides (with no supporting evidence either) are both not relevant to the discussion and without any supporting evidence worthless. InMy moral actions and justifications are grounded in the laws as they stand based on scientific determinations
I completely agree with this, in fact i would go so far as to say IMHO you are somewhat of a gifted expert in it.I know full well how this subjective false equative reasoning game to falsely justify feeling of moral and intellectual superiority works
Indeed i again agree, which is why i suggest you try and post supporting information, when only one side offers relevant scientific evidence, the reader of the thread is left in no doubt what is subjective, and what is researched fact.However, in how each of us present our side that may very well change how others see the both of us, and not for ways you would like them to be seen and go.

I'm not talking about the paper and never was. I am talking about your false equivalencies you use to justify your weak highly subjective arguments and false reasonings for your belief systems.
The point was about copper sulphate, to my knowledge there is no environmental limit imposed on peanuts.Then dismiss the exact same argument later when it disproves your views you argued yourself only to then go on to reargue my own points in a way that agrees with what I was stating against yours at the begining using another near identical example.
Are you aware that an allergy is a type of reaction to a toxin and thusly to specific people they are a toxin but not to others, just as you stated, and just like toxins they have unique threshold triggering points in different organisms (IE people with variable degrees of allergies to them just like copper sulphate is a variable toxin to different organisms as well) ?
So, Are you for or against yourself or me or don't you know what side you on or what point you are going for to begin with?
FWIW, I am backing out of this thread given I am rather sure I am arguing against one of your aspergers quirks
given how you can't carry a straight non self contradicting debate any longer and apparently don't even realize it.
