[Rhodes22-list] Winterizing (Dave)

[Michael D. Weisner]

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE DO NOT PUT GASOLINE OR ANTIFREEZE IN OIL RECYCLING 
SYSTEMS.

They can either contaminate the oil or cause an explosion.  The Smithtown, 
NY recycling station blew up about a decade ago, killing one and injuring 
several other workers.
