We run 100% Waste Cooking Oil straight from a Restaurant where we have a contract (No modifiing!) They use it LESS THAN A DAY, So all we have to do is strain the chunks of food and bits of fish fry out. (Then filter down to 5 Microns)

I have access to 320 Gallons a week from this company (4 restaurants total) I sell what I don't use to a guy who makes NICE Bio-Diesel processors for about .90/Gal.

We stuck a 10 Gallon home made WVO tank next to our Heat exchanger, and the oil stays around 150F in the summer. 90F in the winter.
This will be our 1st year running 100% WVO, for the past 2 years we mixed 15/20% diesel but realized our engine ran BETTER on just straight oil, used less per hour cleaning (1/3 GPH - One third gallon per hour instead of Half a gallon per hour) and got better MPG From 17mpg to 19mpg In town.

We also have a separate 5 gallon tank with straight Diesel that we switch too when we are about 2 miles from our shop after a long days work... cause it does NOT like starting on the WVO

The van is a 1997 E-250, We installed a Modified & Rebuilt 7.3 NON TURBO Navistar Diesel, with a 5 speed Manual ZF HD Transmission with Dual PTO ports.
(It was a B**** making a clutch petal for this VAN) beefed up Suspension etc.

And as far as Pics I will be posting some soon for the Mytee contest, just right now the van is a disaster area...

Me and dad have been working NON-STOP all summer, and needless to say a Neighbor kid walked by my van when it was opened the other day and said "It looks like a bunch of cats threw up in your van".

Unfortunately he was right.
