Given how oil has gone into the negatives, some have been musing “well I should have them pay me to take some of that oil and I’ll store it in my garage”.

And you might be thinking “What’s the big deal... I’ll just have some barrels taking up space in my garage like this :”

No big deal, right?

Well apparently it’s not that simple.

Apparently crude oil fumes alone can kill you. Y our garage won’t be suitable for storing it.  Nor will your insurance policy... both for your house and your life.

I found it to be an interesting read.

From the linked article. Written in 2015

“Oil may be king of the commodities”

Oh you sweet summer child...

I joked about it earlier but I didn’t think anyone would have done it.

“Could a barrel of crude really kill me?” I asked a petrochemical engineer now captive to my persistent and doubtlessly annoying questions. It absolutely can, he said. Hydrogen sulfide gas-H2S, for short-has a propensity to evaporate from crude, knock out your olfactory capabilities and slowly suffocate you.

I didn’t know that. Back to buying computer parts...

How much H2S would you b e exposing yourse lf to if the barrel wa s kept closed, intact, and away from heat/light sources ? Those barrels are sealed, right?

I’m deciding which oil company I want to allow to fill up my van. I have requested proposals.

The crankcase or the passenger area?

If it’s the passenger area, I suggest you re-watch the Top Gear water test:

I know this episode well. It’s kind of what Roadkill will never be.

Yeah. Pass on being anywhere near crude unless I have to be. Crude is nasty shit and  H2S will kill you, even in an open area.

Yeah screw physically storing it... Oil is super low $ per volume. I just need to figure out how to invest based on the dollar per barrel.

Also, they don’t throw in the barrel.  It’s just a barrel-volume-equivalent
