    my dad used to make biodiesel for his old 97 powerstroke out of used cooking oil from a mexican food place. i think it's one part gasoline, 2 parts kerosene, and 1 part cooking oil. it actually smelled like you were in a kitchen

    Great story, we have a place called Bunge Oils here in Chattanooga.

    They reprocess used cooking oil some which goes toward biodiesel.
    Another company called BHT (Birmingham Hide and Tallow) is less than 1/2 mile from our home.
    They collect used oil from area restaurants and fill a semi tanker truck once a week and take that to Bunge Oils.

    I repaired the CMP wiring on their smaller International tank truck one day.
