Cummins Oil Wood Preservative?

[toyota_mdt_tech]

OK, this sounds crazy, but I had a vision.

Have you ever tried buying creosote for posts to keep them from rotting?

It's been banned.

You can buy the wood preservative, but nothing was as good as that creosote.

Remember the smell of the railroad ties as I rode my dirt bike down the tracks as a kid?

OK, so changing oil yesterday, the oil from my truck came out black as coal, and I over-maintain my vehicle.

I had a chunk of treated 2X6 trimming and spilled some of the drained oil on it as I was making my way to my recycle 5-gallon jug, and it soaked up that black-as-coal oil so fast and it hit me; I can use my old waste oil as a wood preservative.

I wouldn't put it on a deck, but any part of the wood buried underground.

Take a Home Depot bucket, dip the fence post in it, and soak overnight.

Bet it would work well.

Anyway, thinking out loud.

This reminded me of when I was a kid in the 50s growing up in England; my Dad would dispose of his used engine oil by pouring it around a telephone pole just over the fence in the back yard.

When asked if this was legal, he would say it’s to protect and maintain the pole, LOL.

Don't get us started about oil!

God's gift to the world!

The earth makes it so fast that people's heads spin if they take the time to study.

The WOKE people are CROOKS!

AHHH,

Spot on; it does work.

Amish folk use oil and diesel/fuel oil as a termite/rot preventative.

I use old motor oil in the wood bed of our manure spreader.

The old timers taught me this: you can use diesel fuel, they say.

Our spreader is 70 years old with the original wood.

I used it to cover the bottom of a trailer deck, too; NH oil or wool wax is better-er, but used oil is free doll hairs.

You can't talk about the second most abundant resource like that.

We have used this for years.

We mix it with enough diesel for rapid penetration and even spreading.

Also, this way, it can be sprayed.

I call it “recycling and repurposing 101”.

We should be commended for not wasting resources.

We used to pour used tractor oil on all the cedar fence post bases to preserve them!

It works like a charm to protect them from insects and rot.
