When we bought this house, there was an area that seems like they followed this advice, although they didn't dig a hole. Judging by the area that seemed to be affected, they ran a redneck Jiffy Lube for semi's and every car within a half-mile radius. That advice did seem to pan out - it did get absorbed into the ground. Maybe my kids will be able to put a well in after we pass away, and they'll be thousandaires with what they can pull out of the ground.
You don't even want to know how many times I've seen us overflow the dirty oil donut while in port. We'd pump the bilge and dirty oil into this thing and it would never fail, we'd always overflow that sucker leaving a big oil slick on the water.I remember 40 years ago being taught that the biggest oil spill in the US is in peoples back yards.
... and that's how Superfund sites were born, son.
