I have a good friend that has been doing it for a while. He has tried lots of different slants and claims cooking it with the lye and methanol treatment is the best way to go. In this small community he gets way more used veggie oil than he can use. I just put a pump on his 6.5 Chevy, that he runs on grease, last week. He really has no problems with the stuff now. But collecting and handling the stuff plus processing, is all a nasty business and time consuming.
And technically you still owe the road tax.
Personally I would be going after the used tranny fluid or old transformer oil. You can run up to 50% no problem and some say even straight in the summer and 15% unleaded with it i the winter to keep it flowing. The 4BT forum has some good discussions on it.

All this talk suggests that McDonald's will have two lines, one for grease and one for grease..with fries.
