: Why do they make noise about dependence on foreign oil and not let anybody go get what we have. (Canada has wells in most of the great lakes - we aren't allowed to, Cuba will soon be using Chinese investment to drill under the Florida straight - we can't do that either.) Shhhh....don't make too much noise! 3 of my 4 vehicles are diesels. One of them, my 6.2L Chevy stepvan, has a Frybrid in it. (http://www.frybrid.com) The 220D and 300TD diesel Mercedes antiques are, currently, running in warm SC on 80% frying oil and 20% regular gas, which won't work if it gets too cold. 3 of us pool resources and have our own veggie oil company. I have the van (collection department), one guy has a huge warehouse (storage and processing) and the other guy built the filtering system (settling and filtration department). We literally have FUEL RUNNING OUT OF OUR EARS! I was at the warehouse, yesterday, delivering another load from our Chinese restaurants. We all filled our vehicles and still had 120 gallons ready-to-go and about 730 gallons settling out in their cans. I don't even shut the truck down to go to breakfast. I leave the heater running...(c; Fuel is easy to get if you get off your asses and go after it.....and have the right engine, not gasoline. Larry -- Rudolf MADE it to run on vegetable oil, ya know. Someone asked, "Are you paying road taxes?", to try to expose me. "Yes, I pay gas tax on every gallon of diesel and gas I buy.", I replied. "What about the frying oil?", they retorted. "There's no road tax on vegetable oil, yet.", I replied, smiling sheepishly...(c; Most restaurants are PAYING a disposal company to collect and dispose of REALLY GOOD FUEL! How stupid.... |
