Re: test water disposal

I often just use the barrel for first engine tests prior to a boat test or to flush motors for several minutes after brackish water use.

I change the water frequently so oily residues do not start to build up.

I also use the oil absorber (sheets or socks) since the unburnt oil stays on the surface. These are easier to dispose of.

Normally I can then dump the reasonably clean water on the lawn afterwards.

I have also mixed dish soap into the barrel now and then and then dumped the water down the toilet bucket by bucket.
