Don . . not to worry 'bout oily rags . . I asked a professional, a career
trained fireman and fire marshall why we've always been told that oily rags
created spontaneous combustion. I knew it wasn't true 'cause for 30 years,
the shop I ran collected our rental red rags in a wooden nail-keg
ferGawd'ssake. He quickly said that petro-oily was not the problem . . it
was organic oils such as cooking related oils that can, under weird
circomstances, heat as a product of oxidation. Check it out with someone
you trust but not to worry.
