| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of biodiesel fuels, including the use of oil from deep-fat-fryers, mentioning potential issues with using oil from food fryers. Explains that "used oil from a fryer contains particles of breading and meat, requiring extreme filtration. Water molecules get into the oil, and water is deadly to diesel injection pumps. Mold tends to grow quite nicely in damp vegetable oil in hot weather, and the resulting sludge can quickly plug up the lines and filters." Also mentions issues with storage. States that "one positive side effect of biodiesel is that it makes the exhaust smell better. Switching to the...renewable fuel may boot revenues in the snack shacks and increase the sources of used fryer oil to sell to refiners." |
