If I am going to use them some time soon,I wire brush them/or blast cabinate and hit them with some acid etch primer.(If a restoration on something,have them replated.) If no plans for them any time soon,I usually leave them all "greasy" as they were and keep them in a storage tray untill needed. [Reply]  [No Email]

But I have a lot of waste oil since I try to keep a lot of what I drain for little things like oh no I have to have some oil for this or that including the oiling of the chains on the machines [Reply]  [No Email]
