Hi Charles,

The oil that I use now has a lot of chicken fat in it but I have no problem once I de-water and filter the oil. The chicken fat burns just fine when heated enough.

When I started with used fryer grease, it was ALL animal fat, just Lard. Even in the summer, I had to get my fuel with a shovel.

sigh, me too I am planning a Big Buy

This is on paper only

I am going to approach a couple of franschises around here and offer them 10 cents a gallon for their waste oil and collect as much as i can store in a Storage Facility--probably 1000 gallons so that it will be worthwhile to mass refine

I am going to get a Diesel Rabbit after that

You think my neighbors are po'd at me now--wait until they see drums of veggie in my garage
