Our method is really simple. Veggie oil comes to the restaurants in 5
gallon "boxes", pasteboard boxes with thin plastic jugs in them. We
provide the restaurants with a large steel filter funnel that has a fine
screen in it to filter out most of the crap as they pour the used oil
back into the containers it came in after it cools. Taking these
containers also reduces the restaurants' disposal costs along with
eliminating their oil disposal service costs. They love us...even feed
me when I pickup a couple of hundred gallons..(c; We save them quite a
bit of money!

Good on you Larry, for being innovative. Enjoy it while you can.
When 50 more people do it, Econ 101 will kick in, and the restaurant
owners will be asking highest bid for their old grease.
When a few hundred do it, the Chicago Board of Trade will initiate
future contracts. Shouts of "Buy 100 October OFG (Old Fry
Grease)!!!!" will ring out in the OFG pit, and industry experts will
blame the OFG futures speculators on the high cost of fuel.
Maybe you should lock these restaurants' oil in with a contract.
Who knows, you may be the next Rockefeller.

No, I suspect the next thing to happen is the oil companies' bribed
politicians will pass a law making it a felony to burn anything but oil
company fuel in any vehicle, driving us all underground. Remember the GM
EV-1 all the test owners loved and refused to give back to GM until GM
threatened them? That was about dealers bitching it didn't require
enough maintenance and oil company politicians telling GM to get rid of
it.

Our President owns oil companies, remember?

They'll find some environmental problem, even if there isn't one of
course, to ban it. It produces NO SULPHUR EMISSIONS, like diesel does.
It's not low sulphur...it's NO SULPHUR. So, we'll have to make it a
carcinogen killing the planet's children. Yeah, that'll work as a scare
tactic.

Yep. And now I'm hearing all this crying about the poor U.S. auto
mfgs from different sources.
I saw 3 ads on TV yesterday by these jokers, in succession.
1. Chrysler - a big minivan gas hog.
2. Ford - a huge honking crew cab PU gas hog.
3. GM - a Caddie Escalade gas hog.
Now maybe that marketing was a coincidence or a product of the
cable channel(s) I was watching (CNN, Fox or MSNBC - can't remember).
But it doesn't matter. Keep marketing gas guzzlers and you will die
or become further marginalized by the Asian automakers.

Have you never driven on a busy interstate? 80% of the cars
are SUVs and PUs.
BTW, my truck gets 6.5 MPG now.

I agree, car ads are some of the worse. Bigger is better?
And how about the ads geared towards the juvenile, immature
( bobspit types) street racer wannabes? Ouy vay!

One ad touts their lighted cup holder. A LIGHTED CUP HOLDER

Look closely at the lobby success Detroit has had keeping fuel efficient
cars like the Smart Car and other tiny European and Asian developments
out of the country, with the help of their "safety politicians".

I've always wondered why I can buy this:
http://tinyurl.com/3777vp
Which is American made, has absolutely no safety equipment,
whatsoever...but, I'm not allowed to buy this:
http://tinyurl.com/2b7f9u
which HAS plenty of safety equipment so the passengers survive this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6t-yyoU8s
Here they crashed one into a new Mercedes S-class. It bounced off and
everyone survived.
Do you think the American on the one I can buy will survive this crash
test? I doubt it. It's used as a flimsy excuse to keep fuel efficient
cars that hurt my oil company President, GW, in his pocket book.

Of course, not all Smart Cars are as fast as these with the 500HP Suzuki
Hayabusa motorcycle engine in them....(c;

Here's a Diablo Smart wiping a million dollar Ferrari's nose in a drag
race....too funny:

We're just now getting ONLY the most inefficiently powered Smart Cars
into America. It's been years of waiting....

Very timely, Larry.
Would you put your money or Ford/GM or UAG?

You remember the Bug in the '60's. All over the place.
Had one myself Might see a repeat with another Kraut car.
Especially if gas goes to 4-5 bucks.
Should be interesting anyway.

I had a string of VWs. 3 bugs, 411 wagon, 2 Kombi campers, one bus...all
great vehicles, but way too much maintenance on the air cooled pancake
engines. All that valve adjusting was way too much.

Had to rebuild mine after the jugs got too big inside. Think I paid
@50 bucks for new jugs with pistons and rings already in them.
Easy job rebuilding them, ground the valves with a reversing drill.
Those engines had a natural life of @60-70k in captivity - the
maintenance you mentioned.
Besides, most I could squeeze out of it was 29 mpg highway.
But the full-sized crap was getting 10-15 mpg, so it was cheap to
run/fix - and easy to park! Mine was a '64. 6 volt.
Had a '67 Squareback too - POS. But it was nice to hear its gas
heater take off like a jet and start steaming up the windows.

Neighbor that has a fuel polishing business doesn't need any stinking
french fry oil to run his diesel truck.
Typical customer calls and wants all the diesel removed from his
tanks for one reason or another and asks if the neighbor can also
dispose of it. Neighbor says sure but there is a $50 disposal fee on top
of the pumping fee.
Pumps the rotten diesel into 55 gal barrels, takes it home, filters
it through his own system and pumps it into his truck.
Wrong color but who's checking!

BTW, He had a customer that ran fresh water into his fuel tank. He
pumped and polished the fuel to remove the water. Not two weeks later,
the same customer called and said he had did it again!!!!
