About a year ago I saw a documentary on how used cooking oil can be used as a fuel to power an vehicle. The guy just added filtered used cooking oil straight to the fuel tank of a diesel car and it ran fine, on used cooking oil! Now, it costs $ to get what most resturaunts used to just throw away; and it's turning into big business for criminals. This is a prime example of how the whole fossil fuel industry will not soon change. As soon as someone comes up with a good alternative, it becomes too pricy and people start to steal it! Either way, we pay through the nose for gasoline or used cooking oil!

The used cooking oil from our manor is given to a farmer who mixes it into some of the animal feed. Maybe I should put it in my gas tank instead! You really are finding interesting tidbits. Cool!
NOOOO! Don't put it in your gas tank! I should have specified: the guy who did that experiment had a diesel powered car.
You didn't think I would put it in my gas tank did you???? Tim, hon, I'm daft (said with Scottish accent!) but not that DAFT! But thank for the heads-up just in case I was in a confused state - of - mind! ROTFLOL
No, I didn't think you would actually do that! What is ROTFLOL?
Rolling on the floor, laughing out loud. With all these other fuel options being explored, I do wonder what we will use someday.
This is great info to know.
