I remember your earlier messages - I'm the fellow Austin guy who referred
you to the industrial supply place in N.Austin as an alternative to going to
Alabama.
As for your current project, do you have a source for used cooking oil? You
do know that most places sell their used grease, right? I have a friend in
town who is attempting this with his Mercedes diesel, but he is not sure
about his source for bio-diesel fuel...

I think most places still have to pay someone to dispose of it.

Please log in for more thread options Hello, Emmo,
I have no idea where I am going to get my yellow grease, as it is
called by those who buy and sell recycled cooking oil. It has been the
better part of a year though since I made the down payment on my
Rabbit, and it is likely to be that long again before I finish
rebuilding the engine. Considering how much cooking oil is recycled
each year, though, I am not at all worried that I might not be able to
find a source. Many people evidently do pay to have it hauled away,
and where it is sold, it of course goes for a rock bottom price. To a
restaurant owner, yellow grease is nothing more than waste, which is
fit only to be hauled away.

Please log in for more thread options All I can say is that this has not been my friend's experience. I suggest
that it might be worth a couple of phone calls to some local Austin TexMex
joints to see if they will let you have their yellow grease before you put a
lot of effort into rebuilding your motor. If you find one, please email me
and I will pass it on ...

Please log in for more thread options Emmo, all I can say is that your friend sounds like the type of person
who couldn't find iron ore on a black sand beach.
