<Oil and fats are collected in a closed tight container. Using solar heating which is easy to build you can collect animal fats and vegetable oils which are easily converted to biodiesel. >

Does that mean if I'm driving behind you, your car will smell like a cheeseburger? I like that.

With fuel at $4 a gallon a trailer to make your own would be very popular. At $3500 per plant ($1100 to make) a person could make a solid living producing these.


Got a link?

Sounds like a cool idea.

I'm not sure I understand what it does.

Does it somehow process the oil and create biodiesel?
How?

Or does it burn the oil and make electricity?

Wouldn't the market for waste cooking oil go way up with the
new demand?

Or would McDonalds eventually have fuel pumps at the drive
thru? <g><ng>

Anyhow, Ratso's articles have caused me to lose enough sleep
for one night. Gotta hit the sack...

I'll have to make sure to load up with a couple cords of wood
this summer.

Thanks for the trailer idea.

I just ordered Kuntslers book on Amazon. Gonna read the next
600 messages on the Rat's Nest until it arrives...
