Biovolks, Speaking as an ardent WVO biodiesel advocate, hearing about large scale vegoil use for diesel fuel troubles me. Vegoil is intended first and foremost for food, not vehicle fuel. If the entire available cropland in the US were converted to vegoil production, it would satisfy less than one-sixth of the fuel needs of the commercial truck fleet. Extensive retail purchasing of cooking oil for fuel will inevitably lead to an ugly backlash from government officials. Do we want the fuel doors on our cars to have a government seal to be opened only by a licensed dealer? If we think the government wields a heavy hand on occasion, just wait until people start messing with the nation's food supply. Prudence dictates that we should hunt down more WVO sources and leave the cooking oil alone.
