power transformers

[jimdawn]

I was just wondering about all of those power transformers hanging on all those power poles out there,
can that oil be used in a bio-diesel truck or car?

Not good for any sort of fuel. Some of the older ones will still be loaded with poyl chlorinated biphenyls(PCBs). Most of the rest of it is very toxic. Nothing you would want near any loved ones.

Thats a real good question and a great answer! I never even gave it any thought till now. P.S. don't tell Klayton or I will be chastised for being in my box hehehe

Also, besides it being heavily toxic, it is very explosive.

And you may want to look up what happens when it gets hit by a EMP. I forget the whole data on it, but this stuff doesn't do well with EMP.
