I once saw the above headline and got very interested to learn more about it. The quick answer is "yes". As long as you have a diesel engine, you can use vegetable oil which is a form of Biodiesel fuel. People who own diesel cars can use vegetable oil. Some of them get it free from restaurants and other businesses that must get rid of their used cooking oil safely or pay for a company to remove it for them.

Of course, there's a catch: You can't just dump vegetable oil into your car's tank and drive off into the sunset. You'll ruin your engine However, with a few tweaks, you can make it work. I was shocked to learn that over 7 million cars in the US run on diesel! That means there's a huge market and at the same time a huge source of free oil! Gasoline is becoming more and more expensive and if someone can connect people to get free energy and save a few bucks, that would be amazing.

What if there's a way to connect those people looking for vegetable oil to run their cars and those who need to dispose of it and just charge a fee? Someone could even offer a delivery service if the owner of the car cannot go pick up the oil.

If you want to make a business of the, just do it!
Care of the warrenty you must give!
##modern injection systems use high pressure, with an old 150 bar system you just use veggy oil and good, but the high pressure systems cant deal the viscosity of the veggy oil. You have to have 2 systems in your car and only take veggy oil, if the engine is warm. And switch back to Diesel, BEFORE you stop the engine. That way many car owner will destroy their injection systems and say, its your fault)##

I ve been driving some 100000 km on veggy oil and built some cars to use it.
Make contracts with the businesses wher you getthe oil. Care: if that doesn’t work any more, do you have to take the oil any more?
You can heat your house or shed and anything with veggy oil.
Btw: works with old motor oil, too. Only the molecule chains are longer, the rest is the same.
Much luck, has fastlane potential! ( not in Europe due to regulations! Energy tax is on every fluid you use for driving, so legal used its as or more expensive as diesel )

If you have questions, ask!

Edith. There are running businesses with that niche:

Someone. Somewhere. Someday.

What if...

You. In Houston. Right now.

Your brilliant ideas are nothing if you don't pick one and do something with it.

You don't need our permission to choose one of your ideas.

If they're so great, show us.
