thanks all who replied , i just want bar oil for my saws i dont want to create a toxic superfund site, locally i pay from 10-8 bucks a jug, jest trying to do some math and save some time jTree Machine said:The earth weeps toxic tears at the thought of this. Doesn't the thought of spraying a 55 gallon drum of petroleum oil out on the ground, in your own locale, doesn't this do a sideways tweak to your environmental sensitivity?
I'm not an enviro-nazi, but I do care, enough to pop in here and offer other soutions.
I read threads like this and it flashes me back to childhood, watching my Grandpa empty the dirty oil out of his car into a spot on the ground. Something about that didn't seem right.

I directed to the above listed thread because a respected member, a veggie user, is making a choice to not only go back to regular bar oil, but to buy a 55 gallon drum of it. The choice was based totally on cost.thanks i never knew where the first thread went i figured i was censored cause i said rude remarks, thanks for the redirect tm

I listed it as 'another helpful thread' because it gives us an opportunity to ask ourselves about those costs. The member from Canada remarked that veggie oil prices have shot up, that he has a meager budget, whatever.
Veggie oil is a food, found worldwide and traded as a commodity. The fact that you can find it everywhere keeps the price stable. Commodity prices rise industry-wide, not just in spotty places. A rise in the price of Veggie oil in British Columbia should be seen as rising prices all over. I have a feeling the member sought a price from a single dealer and that dealer wanted to make a few dollars profit on a barrel. Member sees this as the price shooting up and decides to go back to the slightly cheaper bar oil. If I had a meager budget, the last thing on earth I would do is buy 55 gallons of oil and have that money tied up for the next year. I would put that money into marketing and generate BUSINESS. That's how you deal with a meager budget, not by buying a large quantity of something you know to be toxic to the environment to shave a few dollars.
Naw, jmack, I don't recall you having any rude comments. The veggie oil thread you're referring to was dropped into the equipment forum, in the chainsaw forum and buried on page three. A reply to it does not move it up the ladder, it stays buried deep. I have approached the council on this as we were in the middle of that discussion and actively participating. This thread, and the one I redirected to are both about bar oil (hence the thread title) and about sourcing it in 55 gallon drums. Discussion about veggie here is totally off topic.
