Cleared out some junk today, dirty oil bottles:

Using 20l bottles to store the old oil, atf, flush, bad diesel, etc, in hopes of burning it for heat and/or fun at some point, despite that being illegal.
I figure if it's blended with diesel and/or more volatile liquids, and/or at a very high temperature in a furnace or similar, it'll be fine air-quality wise.

State of the play:
Legal and usable:
- 244 - NO fuel - okay battery
- 245 - NO fuel - DEAD battery
- 744 - NO fuel - okay battery
- 945 - NO fuel - okay battery
- stagea - NO fuel - DEAD battery
- hotel - has fuel - DEAD battery
- lantis - has fuel - okay battery
Legal and shouldn't be used:
- 360 - has fuel - okay battery
Not legal & not in one piece:
- kp - has fuel - okay battery
- ute - NO fuel - DEAD battery
- 54vw - NO fuel - NO battery
- 61vw - NO fuel - NO battery
- wagonr - NO fuel - okay battery
Not legal but usable:
- carib - has fuel - okay battery
In summary:
From 14 cars...
- I have one that is legal, has fuel, has a decent battery, and is working (mostly, missing wing mirror, but...).
- I have 4 cars with dead/bad batteries that won't start them after a day or so, and 2 with no battery at all.
- I have 5 cars that are disassembled and/or broken in various ways and a further one that needs a major fix.
- I have 9 cars with no fuel, and only 5 cars with enough fuel to be used without fear.
How grim! Soon my CC month will end and I'll be in a new month and able to blow some $ on fuel and perhaps a battery or two if I see fit, but I've got that covered.
