[Biodiesel In Utah] Gathering veggie oil

[S. Jeff Cold]

Steve,

 

    Thanks for posting something positive about veggie oil.  Why would B-20
or better

cost as much as regular diesel?  Conservation issues aside, I’m still trying
to see

the benefit economically.  Do you have a greasecar setup that allows you to
heat up

the WVO so that it flows nicely?

 

     I don’t know about Jim’s experience, but Arby’s here in Orem was quite
interested 

in not having to pay somebody to haul away their veggie oil (it is partially
hydrogenated

corn oil).  My take on a casual inquiry is that they were mostly concerned
about getting

a commitment to haul ALL of it away.  Something like 7 gallons X 2 times per
week X 3 stores.

I was afraid I would not be able to use it all.  I’m a newbie and just
learning, so 

my comments are worth what you paid for them.

I have 3 straight veggie vehicles and all run excellent. My 2000 F350 has
over 50,000 miles on veg. I get the same if not better hp. and it burns so
clean my oil is still gold after 3500 miles. I swear by them. No problems at
all even in the worst of winter cold. They put out almost no emissions and
no dangerous chemicals or process need no by product to dispose of either.
You can build a hot water heater filtering system that really polishes up
the oil nicely. Very clean. Then you have a pump handle to pump into your
car or storage container. This is mess free and about the same as a bio
diesel processor.

Many sites already have companies or individuals gathering their oil. Are
there any solutions to this problem that you know of?  Does anyone have
experience with burning straight vegetable oil.  I saw an advertisement in a
diesel truck magazine.
