ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
For the service site in UK, burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be recommended only
for units of approved design. The heating system must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution
for small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt check with the appropriate local authority and/or manufac-
turer of the approved appliance.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste dis-
posal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority for advice on disposal
facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
