Veggie Oil

So, many people don't know or are just hearing the buzz on using Used Vegetable oil as a fuel. Rudolph Diesel, upon inventing the diesel engine, realized that he could use vegetable oil or petro-diesel to run the engine. For years the auto makers were using petro-diesel because it was so cheap to produce. Vegetable oil works one of two known ways; 1. heating the oil enough to lower its viscocity to be able to spray through the injectors and pass through the filter, or 2. Add chemicals such as methanol and lye to form a chemical reaction, separating the glycerine from the oil which also lowers its viscocity. Now, with fuel prices so high, I have decided to buy a diesel truck and to run it on Straight Vegetable Oil by adding a kit that routes the engine heated coolant to heat the oil allowing the truck to run on 100% used veggie oil. (For more info visit veggiegarage.com, utahbiodieselsupply.com, azbiodiesel, utube or google) I have now run aobut 100 gallons of used vegetable oil through my truck and I have not noticed any difference in power or mileage per gallon, just a difference in the smell of the exhaust. Also note that biodiesel or straight veggie oil burns much cleaner and has much less pollutants. The downfall to this is that many large companies are taking advantage of this technology and are buying up all the used veggie oil. If any of you out there have connections to restaurants and are still paying to dispose of your oil, let me know and I will pick it up for free.
