As of 2009 the United Sates produces over a 100000000 gallons a year of waste vegetable oil. Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) that is filtered can be used straight in diesel vehicles that have been converted to cool the oil, or bio-diesel can be used with no conversion to the vehicle at all. Bio-diesel refining involves some toxic substances – methanol for example – and reduces the cost differential between conventional and recycled fuel. However it still makes use of a waste product as an alternative to new petroleum consumption.

MANY areas of the country have oil gathering services that will gather restaurant or food service WVO on a regular basis and refine it into bio-diesel. Many companys make arrangements with restaurants/food service to collect and re-use WVO (with or without further refinement) in their converted cars. One thing that you should know is that diesel trucks produced greenhouse gases. Of course we are trying to find new ingenious ways to save our environment and one way to do this is to use vegetable oil as a renewable resource of fuel for transportation and also the use of heating. There are so many benefits of using this well to replace fossil fuels and some of these include condensed air pollution, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and conservation of limited fossil fuels.

There are two ways you can use waste vegetable oil in car engines. The first way is that you can use straight vegetable oil either waste frying oil or fresh- pressed oil, however you will need an extra fuel tank and a system for heating and filtering the oil before it reaches the engine. There is one reason why and that is to heat the oil, in its normal state it is too thick. The other way is to simply convert the vegetable oil into bio-diesel, which can be used in a diesel engine without any modifications. Bio-diesel is a fuel source made from vegetable oil when a chemical reaction occurs between methanol and lye. It can be created either from using waste vegetable oil from the food industry, or you have the other option of using it from fresh-pressed vegetable oil.

This is something that is now being made to sell commercially in thousands of countries all around the world, however with the right equipment and enough time it can also be made right at home. Some of the toxic air pollutants that are reduced include soot, particulates, carbon monoxide, and sulphur oxides, however nitrous oxide emissions may increase slightly.
