Vegetable Oil Runs a Car!

Today I filled my car up at a Japanese restaurant, so cool! The conversion is finished and operational. I just put my filter in a 5 gallon jug and poured the oil into the jug. I walked over to my car and filled my tank. This is actually going to work as I go cross country. I wasn't sure how I would make it work as I traveled until today. I have over 100 miles logged running completely on vegetable oil.

I went into the restaurant and asked if I could take their used oil. As I was taking the oil out of their big barrels everyone who worked at the restaurant keep coming out back to look at me. It was really funny. I just keep smiling with my greasy hands as I worked. I tried to explain but I don't know if they understood what I was telling them. It was very entertaining for everyone, myself included.

Here's a link to Wikipedia's Veggie oil page for anyone who's interested. I bought my kit from grease car.

Ideally I'd give the oil a couple of days to settle before filtering and using it as fuel. Whenever possible I will do this on the road. I may be shortening my engine life slightly by just filtering and driving but diesels can run for 500,000(or so I've read) so I'm not too worried. It will be a grand experiment.

I want to give a big shout out and thank you to my friend who's a mechanic who did the conversion for me. I feel really good knowing someone did the work who's really interested in the system and actually cares if it works.
