No oil at all, the only fried foods like fry's, chicken fried steak, hashbrowns,... are all of the frozen precooked type.

Thing is we don't use oil or fry things because of health vilolations.
Its not necessarily a health violation to fry a non ready to eat food. its just that if its pre-cooked, it greatly reduces the chance of food-born illness due to a chance of undercooking. I'm sure the good students of wylie get plenty of french fries and chicken nuggets just like every other school district.
From what I've seen, I think the hardest part will be getting oil that is not full of water. Can't tell you how many of those grease barrels there are behind restaurants that the lids aren't on completely just waiting for the rain to fill them up and overflow. I can also see that having a lift gate would be handy to get the full barrels of oil into the truck. Another option might be a hand pump so you could pump the oil into a barrel in your truck. I'm going to continue to look into this and if I can find space at my house may try a batch. My place is pretty full now so finding a place that momma approves of might be difficult.

I've been wondering about something for a while. Once you have the WVO refined or whatever, does your truck have to be set up with some kind of way to burn this stuff, filters, extra tanks, etc. or do you just dump it in your stock fuel system and go?

Just came back from a quick 2 day visit in Norcal and didn't have internet access but YES with properly processed WVO you just fill up with no additional filters,lines,etc but for how much I'd be saving by not buying foriegn fuel I could change the fuel filter once a month and still be way ahead $$$ in pocket wiseForumBlue said:
