Í have access to 400+ gallons of veg /week...i'll only be running diesel for start up and shutdown. In that case i may need to take care of the IFTA myself or hire someone who knows what there doing. I'd get basically 100mpg per diesel gallon since ill burn a lot of veg.

The legality of burning SVO in the United States of America is debated by many. Though vehicle conversions are available both as "do-it-yourself" kits, or professionally installed in virtually every metropolitan area, the EPA clearly states vegetable oil (raw or recycled) is not registered for use as a vehicle fuel. Further, vehicles converted to use vegetable oil as fuel would "likely need to be certified by the EPA", and no such certifications have been done to date.
There seems to be no clear federal taxation system in the USA. Production of biodiesel in some US regions may require motor fuel taxes to be paid.
I borrowed this statement from wikipedia. It seems to me that if this was to catch on that tax loophole would be fixed. I'm amazed at watching some of the public forums and how politicians seem to bend over backwards to squeeze a tax out of anything. Its like they get mad when somebody has figured a way to make something more efficient or better designed. That they're going to miss a few tax dollars (or less money in the pot to steal from
).
