[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 330346, member: 1604"] I have a good friend who is a chemist and at one time worked for the U.S. Forestry Service. This org has conducted wood preservative experiments since 1910. My friend has extensive knowledge of wood preserving techniques and says that diesel/used motor oil products do not inhibit wood rot for the long term because of some chemicals within the oils.. They will keep bugs and fungus away for a short period of time but do more harm than good for the long term because of the softening effect they have on wood. I don't know how to better explain it. Tung Oil, for example, is a wood preservative. Motor oil (petroleum based) is not. [/QUOTE]
