ECUA is working on establishing other cooking oil disposal stations in north Escambia County, but for the time being the one at Grocery Advantage in Cantonment is available to one and all. Drop off your filled container and pick up one of the nice empty, clean containers waiting at the disposal station. My thanks to good friend Jim Dagen, Pineville Road, for bringing to my attention the fact that ECUA should establish such stations in the North End. Larry Walker, District 5 member, ECUA

My brother in law has a diesel F-250 and while collecting used cooking oil took some work, he drove from South Florida to Ohio and back for about 10 dollars.
He had a separate tank set up for the cooking oil with a splitter in the fuel line. He would start his engine with regular diesel and after his engine was warm enough, it would switch over to the cooking oil for fuel.
When ever he was stopped and wanted to shut off his engine he would need to switch back to the diesel to purge the veggie fuel out of the fuel line so the engine would start when ready to leave.
They saved a bunch of money using that system for about a decade. For health reasons it is too much for him to keep up with now. The fuel system up keep is constant and collecting the oil was physically demanding.

I’ve been saving all my old cooking oil in a 5 gallon bucket until full, strain it a few times with coffee filters and use it in my Case bulldozer for hydraulic fluid, works like a charm. Read about some university up north thats been using it in all their equipment for many years now so I decided to try it.

Not enough people realize how much cooking oil is used each day in this country. Scientists should be working on a way to refine used cooking oil for fuel , or possibly reuse. Think about EVERY restaurant, every institution, in addition to households. Their are 67 counties in Florida alone. Think of how many schools, hospitals, restaurants, etc. That’s a “sea” of oil.

I know of one person who burns bio-diesel in his diesel dually truck. I was surprised at how well it works.
