But, I think it's a smart idea for people interested in alternative fueling options and I thinks it's still a small enough population doing this that it is worth it. yeah, I agree that it would not be the proper mass-manufactured option.

Then you have a high demand that you didn't have before and will the suppliers be bogged down with orders which will eventually make the prices go up. I think it's time to start thinking of things that will be affordable to all and not harm the universe. I do think however that for now what Aaron is doing is awsome.

The veggie oil is likely to not cause as much harmful emissions, he'll save a ton of money, and he's putting a "waste" product to good use. However, with that having been said, he is going to get in trouble with both the state and Federal government over the non-payment of fuel (road) taxes. There was a guy in the news about a month ago on the east coast who got nailed big time for doing this. While your friend is , I'm sure, proud of what he's doing, he needs to keep quiet about it. Big Brother is always watching! I applaud your friend’s efforts for several reasons.
