never heard of running straight cooking oil right out of the bottle. honestly would be afraid of trying it straight (no reason just lack of knowlegde i guess) what about running 50/50 and if so what is the best type of oil to use. how can i learn more about these methods ?,. thanks in advance , desparate times call for desparate measures

Thanks for the replies slowpoke and Neal.... I really need to start looking for some more affordable ways to get fuel in order to be able to keep my one truck company running..

even mcdonald's run there trucks on 100% wvo an svo.am waiting for the staff on here to get back to my pm to see if its ok to post to show some that this is not a joke an how easy it is to do

NOW MCDonalds is also doing this here in the states


McDonald’s is all set to lend a helping hand in the struggle against global warming as it is has announced to use its cooking oil as biodiesel for its various UK delivery vehicles.
By 2008, the fast-food chain plans to run all its 155 vehicles on biodiesel that will be made from the cooking oil used in chips and chicken nuggets in its restaurants. The fuel will be made from a combination of cooking oil and rapeseed oil. The firm expects saving 78 per cent carbon every year this way.
McDonald’s has been long criticized over its environmental image as it used animals and even harmful refrigerants in its preparations. A campaign led by Greenpeace also forced it to stop using soya from newly deforested land in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil
Recently in an eco-friendly move it has begun selling Rainforest Alliance certified coffee in its UK restaurants.
The firm is “delighted” to use its bulk of cooking oil to a practical and efficient use in its own business. Its senior vice president Matthew Howe said:

This is a great example of how businesses can work together to help the environment.

The food chain is also working on other projects of recycling and packaging to reduce its carbon emissions. Moreover McDonald’s is committed to work with its suppliers to reduce the use of pure rapeseed oil in its production processes.
The US company had recently switched Austrian fleets to biodiesel that is recycled from its cooking oil.

ASDA IS ALSO WAL-MART JUST CALL ASDA IN THE U.K COZ WAL-MART TOOK THE OVER


According to Mike Hebson, the manager of Asda's store in Swansea, south Wales, there was no reason to be suspicious that sales of the company's cheapest bottles of cooking oil were running 20% higher than the previous year, way above any other store in Britain. "We just thought it was one of those things," says Hebson.
Why should he and his staff have been remotely questioning, he suggests, if men in overalls and lived-in denims had started buying Smart Price vegetable oil in batches of six, eight and 12 litres at a time. When one customer came in and filled a trolley to the brim with plastic containers of the thin, urine-coloured liquid, the checkout operator barely gave him a second glance.
"Naturally, we assumed they were buying on price," says Hebson, an Asda man to the soles of his own-brand brogues. There was another reason that his staff were unlikely to see anything untoward in bulk-buying cheap vegetable oil. "We just thought they were doing a lot of frying," he says. "You have to remember, healthy eating has not hit Swansea in a big way."
It wasn't until the Department of Transport began a series of trial tests in the city last March that staff realised something odd had been going on. In an attempt to take diesel vehicles belching out illegal emissions off the road, department inspectors introduced experimental spot checks on roads in Bristol, Westminster, Glasgow, Middlesbrough, Canterbury and Swansea. It was in the latter that they found something surprising: a car with a fuel tank half full of cooking oil.
"The funny thing was," says Hebson, "the driver told them he had been getting it from Asda Swansea for four or five months, because it was the cheapest around. When we read the report in the local paper we began to put two and two together."
The enterprising motorist was, so the reports suggested, running his diesel-engine motor on a mix of Asda cooking oil and standard fuel. At 42p a litre, the supermarket chain's oil is considerably cheaper than the 73p a litre that even a discounted retailer charges for diesel. The astonishing thing was it worked. Without any need to modify the engine, the motorist could run his car on the mix with no discernible difference in its performance. What's more, instead of diesel fumes, the engine gave off a rather pleasing odour - like frying time at the local chippy.
And if Asda's sales figures were anything to go by, unless he was running a fleet of buses across south Wales, the driver who had been pulled over by the emissions inspectors wasn't the only one. Wind your windows down in a Swansea traffic jam last spring, the rumour went, and the chances were you would think someone was having a barbecue
