In America it can be hard to follow your heart when you are forced to participate within the system of finances we have woven ourselves. I have decided that I am starting a Veggie oil business. I have already begun speaking to local restaurants about collecting their used fryer oil. The market is screaming out for options and I think this will help reduce our communities’ dependence on oil. People will switch to Veggie oil powered cars if they feel confident they will be able to get an affordable fuel. If anyone wants to chat about ideas or experiences with veggie oil please start a dialogue.
If you are trying to figure a way out of a job that is not your passion, you need to think different ways to earn a living. We need to be innovative and build the world we want. The politicians and corporations have been building the world they want for a long time. It is time for us to risk. It is time for us to go out on a limb and help our community. It is time to take the actions you can.
"If no one will lead, you lead"
I say, GO FOR IT! I wish you were in my area and I would be your customer. After finding out the biodiesel I get at the pump is only B2 (2% biodiesel, 98% diesel) I think I need to start making my own or find someone locally doing what you about to undertake. Keep us posted when you make your first batch.

It is not hard to switch to Straight Veggie Oil. It requires almost no proccessing. All you need is a filter sock that will filter down to 5 Microns.
The switch takes about 3-5 hours of work. I am sure their is someone in you area that knows how to do this. Just a second tank in the truck 5-10 gallons and an in line heater unit approx $125.00 and a switch that changes which tank you are pulling from once the engine is warmed up.
