Along this same line, I read a magazine article the other day where a guy in GA is growing peanuts, putting them in a press and sqeezing the oil out of the peanets, then adding rubbing alchohal and lye, mixing it all together, letting it sit for a while to seperate, then siphon off the oil off the top and can be used as a replacement for diesel fuel. The guy who wrote the article was a friend of the guy doing this, he used used oil from restaraunts and did the same thing, used it in a salamander heater, and it burned as well as kero, just smelled like fish. The guy with the peanuts then sold the by product for cattle feed, it is very high in protein. The remaing stuff after drawing off fuel/oil was a glycerin product, same thing used in hand cream. My question, have any of you all ever heard of this and if you have does it work. If you could get used cooking oil, put $5.00 worth of rubbing alchohal and lye in this and get fuel to run in trucks and tractors, that would sure cut cost of running this equipment. Now the drawback, article also said the EPA classified used cooking oil as hazerdous material. Go figure.
