Unhappy Letter from WVO collector to me...

I sent them an email to see how they respond to request for getting WVO from them...

Good Morning Austin,
We received your email inquiring purchasing used vegetable oil for highway
use in your diesel Mercedes.
Tallowmasters collects and produces waste cooking oil as a licensed
renderer. All finished oil is sold to certified feed stock dealers or
biodiesel manufacturers.
We certainly understand that everyone wishes to drive their vehicles for
lower cost. However, using illegal fuels, without paying Federal and State
and county taxes is something that cannot be considered "legal".
World oil prices are escalating and all of us are affected. Even
Tallowmasters, LLC pays for its fuels and taxes for the right to
use/maintain our roads and interstate road systems. To NOT pay your share
for your use of this infrastructure is improper, unethical, and illegal.
Biodiesel will play a part in future diesel production and supply.
(Remember that diesel engines were originally developed to run on vegetable
oil, not petroleum) Because you can do something and possibly get away with
it does not mean you should. We hope that you, if you wish to use
alternative fuel for road use, will pay your fair share.
All taxes on fuel used for highway use are collected by the
manufacturer/distributor, not the end user.

Charles Largay
President
Tallowmasters, LLC
