Scraper, check with your local DOT and department of revenue for details. I think it depends on your state, county etc. Steve O, Most people make deals with local restaurants or food producers. Businesses often have to pay to have waste oil removed from their site. Jake, For an old junker i agree with you. If i had an old diesel golf or rabbit i would defiantly consider a grease car conversion. However with newer car I'd rather Biodiesel. When running straight grease I believe you have to upgrade your fuel system due to the caustic nature of used oil. It will eat right through rubber lines not to mention the whole hassle involved with keeping the oil warm and filtered. One good use for the BioPro 190 would be a community biodiesel co-op. There's at least one here in the Commonwealth. People collect used oil and bring it to a drop off. They also donate their time to help produce the fuel. In return they get cheap diesel fuel. Here's a link to the story Charlie mentioned: http://tinyurl.com/ys6xen Making one's own fuel isn't a project to take lightly, it's more of a life style than a hobby. However i think it's pretty cool and something worth considering. Hey guys!

I guess if you don't go bragging you can get away with it. In the UK you are supposed to declare the fact you are producing and using fuel and pay about 25p on the litre.
