My favorite place uses peanut oil instead of veggie. What would be any difference in this as a fuel?
Around here, most restaurants get PAID a few pennies a gallon for their used veggie oil. A place in Mississippi provides the dumpster and them comes around once a month or so to pump them out. Most folks get $10 or so a month selling their used veggie.

Read THIS LINK for a history of the Diesel engine. Peanut oil goes back over 100 years in these engines.

What a deal!!! The place with the best burgers and onion rings also has the best fuel! Can't beat that! And, the owners are good friends. That gives me 15 gallons a week there alone. This is going to be good!
By the way, I checked out the place that collects everybody's used veggie. They are making biodiesel as well as some neat solvents from the waste stream! I think that's really neat... the ultimate recycling. As a cleaning consultant, I'm going to be checking into their solvent stream. Soy based solvents were too pricey a few years ago. Recycled veggie solvent will hopefully be better.
Thanks again guys... forgot Mr. Diesel designed it initially for the peanut oil. Well duh!

I don't know about other veggie based solvents but biodiesel will clean up a mess in a hurry! I use it when I have some laying around to clean my hands after working on the F250. Really cleans up that power steering fluid oil/diesel sludge like no other. Are you going to just burn it or make biodiesel from it? Good luck,
J.D.

I'm going with the two-tank system for burning heated, filtered veggie in my truck. I have a price quote from Greasel for a 100 gallon tank in the bed.
As the owner of a small chemical company, I have plenty of metal drums, drum heaters, inline heaters, filtration units, etc. I also have available a bunch of 275 gallon tote bins. I'm thinking of using one or more of them for settling tanks. Ideas?
Any others heard peanut oil might cause skipping?

Aw man! That went right over my head!!!! Skippy! Good one!
By the way, I started school below New Orleans (Plaquemine Parish) but don't like it much more than you apparently do. New Orleans is to the rest of Louisiana as L.A. is to the rest of California. They are connected but not by much.
Ironically, LA may break off at the San Andreas fault and slide into the Pacific and New Orleans is slowly sinking into the Gulf due to coast erosion. And these are bad things?

Most people think that LA will slide off into the ocean. Doesn't work that way. The way the fault runs, LA will wind up eating Tucson, Long Beach will have some great snow skiing & Catalina will probably be the new beachfront excluive property.

OK - so you had to have someone explain the joke. Dat's ok.
I've got a number of those 275-ers, and have been hoping to hear from someone else with that same idea. But - I'm wondering about that conical settling set-up that seems - from the small amount of website research I've done - to be ubiquitous. Is there a way around that; perhaps by creating a secondary settling tank via the IBC's (isn't that their formal name?) main drain?
Have you a source for fittings for what seem to me to be non-standard threads on those fellers?
I'm very much at Starting Point Zero with all this - I don't even know any restaurants, etc., in the closest town (Fairbanks; 200 miles) to cozy up to.....
