There not cheap, but it still beats walking.

This looks like a very interesting system with all those preheaters it might actually work. The claim about overly abundant fuel stock is probably only true if you own the restaraunt that creates the grease. For example the biodiesel plant rejects all raw stock (waste veggie frying grease) that has a PH of 3.9 or lower. That means most fast food fry grease is rejected for fuel production but passed along to the grease processor in trade for the good grease he gets with appropriate PH and particle content. So before converting your vehicle you might want to test the raw fuel stock because not all grease is good grease for fuel. The all climates claim is also suspect so if you live where temps are regularly below zero F maybe some testing is in order?

Anyone have actual experience with this product?

Beeherder, good to see you back.  :hug006:

A number of people around the Seattle area have these things, but don't get caught. The state tax agencies consider it a form of tax evasion, because you're not paying fuel taxes.
We're running out of petroleum. Are you ready?
