Additional Info: Equipped with 2 diesel tanks and a coolant heated third tank for waste vegetable oil, a 2 micron filter, valves for switching between tanks and a high efficiency electric heater right before the mechanical injection pump. This setup makes the vegetable oils almost as thin as diesel so it burns very clean and doesn't harm the engine. The oil is collected from restaurants for free, settled, then de-watered and filtered down to 10 microns (absolute) using reusable stainless steel filters and a pump. Eventually a centrifuge will replace the filtration system.
