Biodiesel

I got bit by the biodiesel bug.

I saw a special on TRUCKS! several weeks ago and have been looking at the fuel meister system ever since on the fredomfuelamerica.com website. Everything looks really simple, except how do you keep the used vegetable oil from turning into a jelly type state? It seems like to me you would have to buy their heater blanket to heat the "oil" back into a liquid state.

Anybody try this yet?

With what results?

Seems like no problem for our engines.

I have several buddies that are willing to take the plunge, except we do not know how easy it will be to find used vegetable oil and how long we will have supplies if this really takes off.

Please give advise.

Thanks

Tom
