Girl Mark, You mentioned the old dipping method. I am new to biodiesel and tried the dipping method yesterday at my local Burger King. Unforttunately, their container out back was almost empty, and the WVO at the bottom was solid wax. The temperature was about 35 F. What is the minimum te

Mark, Yup, the old and practically free oil pump out of virtually any motor should do a good job. Mine is of unknown origin found in the corner of my friends scrap heap. When opened, the rotors showed plenty of wear. However, for the purposes of pumping random amounts of waste oil it seems
