Oil Sprayer for UTV for dust control?

Yes, but it's winter and folks have cabin fever and are bored. Got to talk about something, and if someone responds a thread is formed! Subject is often times irrelevant, people just have to say something.

Anyone take notice the original P.O. only made this post and ran. Think he did it on purpose. He's probably seating there laughing at all the posts. Gotta love it , stir the pot and run..

I have no problem with a little discussion, regardless of the OP's intent... as long as it doesn't get ugly. A few posts have started to move that way, but fortunately, no one has taken that bait and run with it.

I remember traveling the western U.S. as a child and all the Forest Service campgrounds had oil soaked gravel roads.

I remember similar things: unpaved county roads sprayed with oil to hold down the dust and slow the loss of the fines from the gravel.

Fortunately, we've learned a bit since I was a kid

Maybe you missed the part where natural bacteria and enzymes broke the oil down after a number of years. It's narratives with red herrings, like your example, that give environmentalist an ungrounded view of reality.

And maybe you missed the part about motor oil containing a bunch of other nasties. The example you cited for natural breakdown was a reference to crude oil. Red herrings eh? Post up some hard data that supports your suggestion that motor oil is non-hazardous.

With pleasure. See anything not natural in the ad pak? You do know what's in oil, right?

....and most times it's basically worthless blather....

No kidding.
And one should feel VERY foolish for having to actually argue with someone as to why we should not dump used motor oil on the ground.
Might as well find a stout hard wood tree and beat your head against it.....

Hey, at one time they used salt for dust control and that worked.

Another environment thing I don't quite understand is that it is forbidden to bury concrete in landfill.(and asphalt)
(They claim it will leach into the water table.)
BUT
It is permissible to use crushed concrete as a substitute for crushed stone as a top dressing!

Silly....the lab analysis tests for wear metals commonly found in internal combustion engines and says nothing about toxicity. Like giving someone a math test to see how well they spell. Even more misleading is your lab results only represent wear metals in your engine for a defined period of time. Only a complete idiot would give any credence to your so called 菟roof that used motor oil is not hazardous.:laughing::laughing:

I put him on ignore long ago. No point in trying to reason with a fool.
