RE: Veggie Oil Nomads!! We just filtered a waste resource with the sun’s power... Road Trip!

in #ecotrain7 years ago

I have a friend who converted his diesel Volkswagen to greasel several years ago. He drove all over the country in it for free. I don't know if it's still the case, but a lot of restaurants used to have to pay to have their used grease disposed of by specialized companies, so they were perfectly happy to give it away for free for him to use as fuel because doing so saved them money. He said he'd just pull into restaurants where he saw the external used grease storage tanks (particularly common at fast-food places) and ask if he could take some. They said "sure" about 80 percent of the time.

Awesome to hear!! Same story here except lately some companies have been selling it to larger companies that pick up and pay the restaurants. We can still find quite a bit though with a little effort! Love to hear stories like this!! 🙏
