I four- wheeled for pizza |
Now I probably have to go far out back to the woodpile in the sleety
blizzard because i'm burning it too fast. I should have brought the
old wood tobaggon from upstate. We've only had the oil burner on 1
night in the last few days. I heard the oil filler guy cursing me
out, cause I'm on auto-delivery, and he could only drop 158 gallons
in, out of a possible 250. Still, that was the fattest delivery this
year. I'm getting hosed at 2.39 a gallon, it's 2.09 for cash with
some deliverers.
I warmed up the extension cords, and am ready for loss of power and
generator use, but it didn't rain, so no ice storm a'comin'. Temps
have dropped, windy as anything. Think I'll over-charge up the
Coleman lantern just in case.

Question. Do folk in your parts collect used fry oil
for heating?
Here I can drive on virtually free biodiesel, for heating
I'm wondering if it would be in demand. Of course it
would prolly gell up in those temps though.

So I guess it's fairly recycled and reused then :-)

I just went to the ATM, and shops, but am back now.
Not too many people about, so driving was easy, and
there were no queues at either.... for a change.

Some do, limited. Makes people hungry.

I never saw it in real life, just on TV, yesterday as a matter of fact
(Dirtiest Jobs)
you say you CAN do it (drive) ...do you mean you can put it in your
current tank, or don't you have to get an engine refit?
I wonder if all the fry places that give it away run out of it now,
since the word is out.//Tanks for oil are in cellars here, about 55
degrees F year round. I don't think that would gel it.// I don't
know, it's only a 'curiousity' here at this point. I think people
would be up in arms if it really smells like hamburgers. I lived near
a rendering or boullion factory once. Put me off soup for years.
Maybe biodiesel is more than used vegetable oil, I'm sure I'll learn
in the next few years.

the oil we burn for heat is the same diesel that's burned in
vehicles. they dye it to show that it hasn't been taxed for
vehicular use, but aside from that, it's the same stuff. we've
used auto diesel in our furnace when the fuel delivery didn't
come in time. i don't think biodiesel would be very practical,
only because of the quantity needed. 150-250 gallons at a time
per house is an awful lot of fuel, considering it's the most
commonly used fuel around this area.
most tanks are indoors, in the basement, so there's no problem
with the fuel getting too cold. they used to bury the tanks in
the ground, but they eventually rusted out causing a clean-up
nightmare.

My oil guy said last year that they should allow oil deliverers to use
the dyed, untaxed oil to make deliveries, lowering the price to the
'consumer'. Sounded like a great idea.

Yeah, but maybe in a few years, ya think? If it's the same stuff they
make new from corn, I bet it'll take off soon. Mexico is actually
short on corn, a staple there (tortillas and such/appropriate
response: "duh") because the growers can make more selling it to
energy companies. That's when genetically modified corn will become
common, because it's not for food. (and the pollen will escape, and
ruin the world.)

I had to sign an agreement that I would be responsible (forever?) if
they found an old underground storage tank at the last place. But
they were coal, until the 1950s, and I asked the old owner's niece.
She said the current tank in the cellar was original to the oil
changeover.// the new underground gas station tanks are so light, the
plastic. I rolled one over with my finger, just to see if I could do
it. it was 10 foot diameter, and 40 feet long. Easy.

Urk, that's a lot. How long does that quantity last?
My mate and I pick up 20 litre tins from food outlets,
and make up batches boiled in the usual 44 gallon
drum for our diesel vehicles. The vehicles only need
around 10 litres/100 km. I think that's 2.6 gal
per 62 miles each.

So, it would be plausible to do? I don't imagine the
used oil would need much processing, just boil off
the water, and filter it. Wouldn't need the whole
transeterifcation process proper motor vehicle
biodiesel does.

we're probably just going to use about 375-400 gals (approx
1400-1500 l) this heating season, but we have a tight, well-
insulated house and we're burning lots of wood every day. i
have a friend with a big old house who probably burns that
much in a month. opposite ends of the spectrum.
biodiesel certainly sounds worth looking into for heating
fuel. i don't know how it would need to be treated first.
interesting project.
