I also saw this one mentioned on another forum recently.

Try "diesel motorcycle" on Google. I got a few hits when I tried it.

Bob,
I don't disagree that there is an abundance of waste vegetable oil
out there. My curiosity in making it from scratch, comes from the
same ideology that drives me to join this forum. Although I'm sure
that I'll eventually be tapping into this source, I'm not
convinced of it's sustainability for the individual. I try to look
ahead toward a time when bio-based oils will have gained
popularity and "waste" vegetable oil will be bought and sold
between wholesalers and commercial processors.
I know this won't happen tomorrow but, like I said, If we are
concerned about sustainability on a world-wide scale, maybe we
should also be concerned about it on a macro or micro scale in
terms of energy Independence.
Your point is duly noted. There may be no need to be concerned for
a really long time. Besides, from one point of view, processing
waste vegetable oil serves an important roll in conservation. So,
as you've probably noticed, I'm still trying to figure out my
priorities.
One thing is for sure: I'd really like to get a couple of diesel
motorcycles for me and my fiance.

Howdy Mike, why not used vegetable oil? Even small burger joints
generate 10 or so gal a week. Around my parts the small operators
have
to pay to have the stuff hauled off, so they are more than willing to
give it to me for free.
