Agree again. "I'm afraid unless this stays a real pain the butt for doing the wvo thing so that your average person isn't going to want to do the work himself"
There are 2 VO pumps in the country - last checked, they sell at 90 cents/gallon. If could fill up on VO at $1.50/gallon, I wouldn't even THINK of collecting and filtering. THat's the idea behind my industrial centrifugal oil filter (when I get it)...take all the messy work out for people and them a BIG FAVOR by selling them VO at $1/gallon...when you no longer get posts from me, you'll know I'm in prison for some sort of fuel tax evasion. Chris P.S. There may be laws about disposal of oil, bet they are not strictly enforced becuase the point in the past was that the oil not get dumped somewhere...which doesn;t happen, but now there will be a new reason to enforce.
