Not at all "kinda like the same". Using a spare oven to heat the powder coating isn't going to break any laws, but using a dishwasher to clean car parts covered with oils and greases will. That is, unless he has a "closed loop" system, or collects and disposes of the water used as an environmental hazard.

I don't believe there is a water treatment plant in the country who wants to hear that its' customers are flushing down engine oils in any amounts. If there were, you'd have a dishwasher installed in every motor repair shop around.

Dean often talks about the people in the world who do not have access to clean water, but clean water is so familiar to us that we often don't even think about how poorly we treat it before we send it back out into the environment.
