Jon, I am aware of a local transport company which undertakes its own (and external) vehicle servicing. The company filters the used engine oil, blends it with diesel and uses the blend in its fleet vehicles (with resultant economies in its diesel consumption). Unfortunately I have no more detail of the process.

I am in business as a mechanic who is thinking of making and using Bio-Diesel for my work and own domestic vehicles. I have a particular question that is bugging me. I have checked the archives, searched for information and scratched my head about it.. As a mechanic, my chemistry knowledge is next to zero.. so forgive me if I am missing a point or the answer has been posted before. so here goes my question/questions.... As a mechanic, I accumulate gallons of waste engine oil from servicing customers cars. At the moment I pay a company to take this oil away to be recycled... can the bio-diesel process be used to convert this into diesel? or another process? or can anyone think of good uses for it rather than paying to have it removed? many thanks Jon [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address.
