BIODIESEL Debunked

The one thing that I have not yes seen discussed and that is the transportation of the used oil. What are the environmental regulations, state and federal, if any?

To transport used motor oil you must be licensed  in this state and the penalties for being caught transporting used oil is very severe. And if you in some way spill a little bit, it is even worse. I have heard a minimum of $10,000 fine.

I can well imagine a company that is licensed to pick up used oil, and gets paid to do it might get very upset if they see someone coming to their customer and picking up their load of oil. A simple phone call could get you in a bunch of trouble, very quick.
I really thing those of you planning on doing this should check out the regulations.

Also, here in WV you can only use your own waste oil, oil that you generate in the operation of your business, to run a waste oil furnace.

He he he.. gentleman..none of this makes any difference in the long run, because since the early 20th century when our wireless radio signals began seeping out into outer space, such signals have now  propagated well out over 30 parcecs and by now have received the much unwanted attention of the Draconian sensor buoys strung out along our spiral arm.  The Draconians are going to pay us a visit and it is not good.  Can I please have more wine now?  He he he.    Just kidding!!!

Arghhh.. That is Dino OIL.. Veggie oil is a FOOD product and most likely does not fall under
that category. Except in Kalifornication.
