Oil Sprayer for UTV for dust control?

[Ampped]

I'm looking to build a sprayer that would sit in the back of my UTV that would allow me to spray used oil on my roads to help with dust control. I have a 16 gallon spot sprayer with custom boom for weed control but at 2.2 gpm and 70 psi it doesn't seem to have enough power to distribute oil. Thinking maybe something with a larger 12 volt pump or maybe small gas motor. What kind of pressure and nozzles would be reguired? Anyone out there fabricated anything like this? Thanks in advance for any help!

Skip the pump??? Link above...

I thought CA, who thinks everything causes cancer, would frown upon spreading oil on roads? DOT around here uses calcium chloride...

Used oil? Don’t you think that’s bad for the environment?

Haven't seen that done in forty years.May be a fine involved.

Oil for dust control? California? This is a joke, right?

Hemp oil in a pressure washer. Add some THC for California use. LSD for Bay Area roads.

Make sure to mix some DDT in the oil while you're at it.

Used vegetable oil would be allot better then used crankcase oil.

I think Hillstreet said it all...........

What ever product that you use for dust control from the different polymers to calciums,
I wouldn't bother with a sprayer and nozzles that will plug and act up.
A 6 to 8 ft pipe with numerous holes and a good sized full flow ball valve a simple gravity flow system.

Just be careful of getting oil of getting oil into the groundwater and causing damage.

Must be a troll. No one in their right mind would put used motor oil on the road, especially in Kalifornia.

When I was a kid my dad did it.....it sure isn't something I'm proud of. When we finally succeed in screwing up this planet, where do we go?

Al Gore bored and playing around on the interweb he invented or what?? Regardless, you're going to need something along the lines of an Ingersoll Rand 185CFM compressor to push that thick of viscosity. As for nozzles.........bigguns. Good luck and be sure to post some build pictures. We like pictures.

guys...oil comes from the ground and is broken down by normal enzymes found in nature.

The spot on the ranch where old oil was dumped many years ago is now one of the greenest parts of the place.

relax...

My JD tractor has a tiny bottle under the SCVs to catch the four drops of oil that might otherwise pollute the earth when you disconnect. Give your head a shake.

I even thought about moving my fuel tanks from time to time to lessen contamination in one spot. If the place was ever up for sale, they could do a soil test at the fuel tanks and decide that a two million dollar soil reclaimation is in order.

Only in Canada....eh?

Around here they use wood resins that they somehow boil out when processing timber.
Works OK but gets washed out after some weeks.
Sure is gooey stuff when put down.

Use that here too. Gets on your shoe bottoms and tracks everywhere...

Yep, I had an environmental disaster of a Toyota powered log splitter that sat in the same spot in my yard for 20 years. Ground is saturated with motor and hydraulic oil and coolant that leaked from that thing those 20 years. I finally quit using it and moved it. And just as Snobdds said....that spot is the longest, greenest grass in my yard?? LOL

Even my city used to use oil on the roads back in the day. They still do in the steel mill on their roads. And we are still all alive after all these years.
