I just came from Captain D's fish and chips restaurant, about 2 miles
from home. While I was there, I asked the manager what they did with
their cooking oil, as he was changing it out as I was leaving with 15
gallons of new oil.....

They are paying plenty to have this "waste oil" hauled off for disposal.

I asked him if Capt D would like it if I took it off for free and he
smiled from ear to ear. I can have about 25-30 gallons per week....per
restaurant from them, if I want. Any I haul away for free is just less
they have to put in the big disposal tank out back.

We discussed putting the oil back into the original 5-gallon plastic
jugs, solving another disposal problem he has getting rid of old jugs.
This made him even happier....(c;

The more I see of this idea, and a few other systems like frybrid's, the
more I think it will work where I live. There's 8 Chinese restaurants
and 2 Capt D's in easy range of the house....just going
to....well...."waste"!

Fuel isn't scarce at all....We're just using the wrong stuff!

Larry,
Is there a special filter for getting the cat hair out of the oil from the
Chinese places?

Yes! The "primary strainer" inside the big ol' funnel at the restaurant
filters out the really big stuff when they pour the free fuel through it.

I'm up to about 250 gallons per week "potential input" to the fuel supply
situation from just the restaurants I happened to have asked in the last
few days...Captain D's Seafood, Hardee's, a couple of Chinese
restaurants, etc. I have not been turned away, yet, and everyone seems
eager to start giving me the oil, instead of paying the disposal company
gawd-awful rates to empty that oil dumpster thing out behind the
restaurants. The fuel supply seems unlimited! I may have to drive up
and down the interstate just to burn off the excess!

Simply amazing. All these years we've all been eating at oil refineries
and STILL don't have a huge, 500hp, diesel SUV or power yacht with a
special injection system that only runs on fuel they're PAYING someone to
haul away!

How stupid.....WE'VE BEEN BURNING THE WRONG FUEL!!

Yeah, but it's usually dog hair, and it's an entirely different sort of
filter setup.
