I just got back from shopping and I can buy new palm oil cooking oil
cheaper then diesel at the big dealers.


Next time you go, look at the other types...corn oil, canola oil, etc.
I've never priced the oil because I get it for free after they've cooked
with it.

Put "vegetable oil diesel" into the YouTube search engine. There are
quite a few great videos showing what some of the other users are doing.
One "good ol' boy" redneck simply pulls his truck up to the above ground
tank and pumps the oil into his truck-mounted filter system from about
halfway to the bottom of the oil in the waste oil tank behind the
restaurants, only pumping what he's going to use. His diesel, so he
says, runs fine this way. I can see how that works as the solids will
settle out of it just sitting in the stationary tank, unless he shows up
just after they've drained their fryers into it, which might agitate it.

We've found very little sediments in our plastic supply jugs. Lots of
the users on YouTube have very expensive overkill trying to make it super
pure....which it doesn't really need. Injectors regularly pass 1 micron
crap from the dino diesel and burn it. Going berserk on purity is
unessential, it seems. Like me, you live in a hot climate and I think
heating the oil is overkill, too. Yankees up North and Europeans need to
worry about the cold, not us.

There are a lot of Good Old Boys that are doing things on YouTube. I'd
much rather get my information from someone who's been there and done
it. :-)
