Took the stepvan to the warehouse, today. Pumped in 29 gallons of filtered vegoil from the French Fried Oil and Refining Company main ballast tankage with the 55 gallon drum hand pump. We just GOTTA get an electric transfer pump to match the filter pump.....It's too hot in that damned warehouse to pump by hand! Another of my consorts was there and we promised each other to drive around a lot this weekend to use up some of the excess....again. I got 13 more 5 gallon boxes of used oil on Friday from the Chinese guys. This batch I'm running now is going to smell a little. My hands smelled like fish oil after I pumped it. Fish is the only smell I can detect, intermittently, in the exhaust, which is really clean. I was walking down Main Street, and it hit me: the aroma of old time Castrol R Castrol racing oil, aka castor oil. I used to put it in an MGA just for the gorgeous smell. I wonder if, could it be? that reclaimed oil makes the same nose? If so, count me in! Brian W |
