DIY poor man gravel road dust control

[Tomtint]

So I have been thinking about this now. I have a friend who owns a few restaurants, I can get probably 10-15 gallons of used fryolator oil a week ( veggie oil ) my questions would be 1 , how many gallons would a 2,000 foot x12' wide road require. 2, how much filtering of the old oil would be required and would it clog a sprayer. 3,.. How long would it last keeping dust down. 4 , . What sprayer would work best.

Tomtint, good questions. Too bad no one answered.
I’d really like to know….

1. what type of sprayer or what method would one would use to spray/spread used fryer oil on a road?

2. How much fryer oil should you expect to need for 170m x 8m?

thanks everyone

I have a 1500 gallon and buy some brine from the guy they get to do the roads.

Knew a farmer when in high school did similar with a 55 gallon drum.

Our County Road Dept. uses Soybean Oil.

Beet juice or used vegetable oil wood be a good. Not harmful to the earth.

I’m so broke I spit on my driveway for dust control.

When I lived on a gravel road we redid an area with asphalt millings, wasn't prefect but definitely less dust.

I've area of our road they used crushed concrete, that stuff was terrible about dust.

We were going to try dirt glue, but it was too expensive for us at the time.

Dust-Off was a popular product when I lived in the Lake-Mendocino Counties area.
I think the Mc Laughlin Gold Mine and most of the Redwood Timber operators were using it.
It needs a wetted road before application.
Magnesium Chloride maybe not as harmful or corrosive as Calcium Chloride?
Anyhow, was in Nor Cal, so can't be too bad.
I didn't see any Prop65 BS.
