hello Jim Are there separate tax rates for biodiesel and straight vegetable oil? I thought they didn't have a classification for SVO or WVO, you had to declare it as biodiesel. But this would seem to mean they have different tax rates for biodiesel depending on whether it's made from new or used oil... What weird rules. Anyway, whatever cooking oil you use it'll be pretty much wasted by the time you've turned it into biodiesel, not much use for fish & chips anymore. :-/ Best Keith ------------------------ Yahoo!
