[TheForge] Quenching Oil

Wed Jan 8 08:33:01 2003

Used french fry oil / deep fat grease is free from my local "greasy spoon" 
restaurant: it doesn't smell too bad  either.

But peanut oil might be better.  I will see if  Skip wants to use his 
turkey cooker <grins>.   I know he can only eat so much cold turkey, 
and  Thanksgiving is already a month behind us.

After years of testing, they reportedly have soy-diesel approved,  but 
before they got the formula  right,  they probably prematurely aged a few 
diesel engines.   I can't imagine that trying to clean up old cooking oil 
back to a fuel grade component would be cost effective.
