Oil Sprayer for UTV for dust control?

[ArlyA]

I do know that, but oil for chip seal is basically heavy crude, what the tree huggers howl about when a pipeline breaks.

Used motor oil has a bunch of carcinogens in it and will wash down into the ground water. Its runs at normal temps we live in. What they chip-seal or make asphalt road with is stable unit at very high temps. So the cancer risk to animal life (that's us) is not the same.

Somebody needs explain this to the tree huggers.
They seem to get their panties in a wad whenever there is even a minor crude oil spill.
BTW: Crude oil is heated for pipeline transport, as well as for roadway application.

Crude oil is heated for pipeline transport, as well as for roadway application.

And why do you suppose that is?
Used motor oil doesn't need heated to spread on the ground.
Could there possibly be a (gasp) difference?

I heard that used motor oil caused coronavirus(LOL)!

Too late for me, I grew up in an era that gravel roads & oiling for dust were the norm.

People back then had private wells got city water that came from a private well.

I am dying and nothing I do now can stop it.

Correct!
There is a difference!
Used motor oil does not need to be heated, but crude oil does need to be heated, to make it flow...... like used motor oil.
Obviously, pipeline crude oil cannot possibly pollute the ground unless it is hot.
Pipeline oil is... cold?... Hot?

Oil in pipelines is hot, weather its crude or not, is not an accurate statement. In all the years I spent in the patch, I never once worked on a line that hot oil flowed in for any distance. But oil is different at every field around the world so my experience is quite limited so yes some is heated, to be move down lines. I'm not sure where, but I'm sure it it. Nearly all the wells I worked on heated it in treaters I worked on those da^&%m things. Oils used in asphalt or road repairs is a byproduct of there refining and not good for much anything else so I'd say road is a good place for it.. Hope that helps

The point being: Oil whatever type, when poured on the ground pollutes the ground.
Surely, some types are worse than others, but they ALL pollute the ground!

Can't be so, it's organic.
