Oil Sprayer for UTV for dust control?

Ampped · Feb 8, 2020

I'm looking to build a sprayer that would sit in the back of my UTV that would allow me to spray used oil on my roads to help with dust control. I have a 16 gallon spot sprayer with custom boom for weed control but at 2.2 gpm and 70 psi it doesn't seem to have enough power to distribute oil. Thinking maybe something with a larger 12 volt pump or maybe small gas motor. What kind of pressure and nozzles would be reguired? Anyone out there fabricated anything like this? Thanks in advance for any help!

Skip the pump??? Link above...

I thought CA, who thinks everything causes cancer, would frown upon spreading oil on roads? DOT around here uses calcium chloride...

Used oil? Don’t you think that’s bad for the environment?

Haven't seen that done in forty years.May be a fine involved.

Oil for dust control? California? This is a joke, right?

Hemp oil in a pressure washer. Add some THC for California use. LSD for Bay Area roads.

Make sure to mix some DDT in the oil while you're at it.

Used vegetable oil would be allot better then used crankcase oil.

What ever product that you use for dust control from the different polymers to calciums,
I wouldn't bother with a sprayer and nozzles that will plug and act up.
A 6 to 8 ft pipe with numerous holes and a good sized full flow ball valve a simple gravity flow system.
