just a note... talked to David (the MacDonalds owner) and asked if he has thought about doing the same thing. he says that someone comes and gets his used oil for free. he never knew what it was being used for. only knew that before this guy started coming to get it, it was costing him $400 a month to have someone come pick it up.

the used oil cannot be dumped into regular garbage so its collected in a big dumpster like container. he would shuttle oil from one store to the other so he only had one collection point which was cheaper that way. once every couple of weeks when the container got full, the oil guy would come and pick it up and charge them just under $200 per pickup.

now he has this guy who comes by once a week and takes everything he has from both stores. he no longer pays for pickup, he no longer hauls used oil from one store to the other.

Wow. That guy took all the used cooking oil? That guy must be making "refry" oil to sale to other... B)

Talk about no overhead cost.

This would be great if you could run diesel or used cooking grease..

How much is the conversion kit?

Anyone know why diesel costs more that refined gasoline???
