Roger,
You're making fun of collecting restaurant waste oil and then suggesting we go find a few people who
are retarded enough to have left 200 gallons of heating oil in their basement tank?
The point of biodiesel is not to have restaurant waste oil power everybody, but to grow the fuel.
We're already paying farmers to not farm their land. Commercial biodiesel is not made with waste oil
anyway.
