My truck smells like french fries. I use B100 BioDiesel in my 97 Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel, and it loves it, and folks are always telling me, your truck exhaust smells like french fries. And of course if I use Biodiesel made from used donut cooking oil, then my exhaust would smell like donuts.

When I go to buy Biodiesel in Berkeley, I go a tiny bit further and end up at Sirona Fuels in Oakland who is the source of much of the Biodiesel sold in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Life is good.

Keeping track of the important stuff that we love can be a daunting process. And so I generally keep links pointing back to Biodiesel, Bmw service, Mini Service, and Martial Arts.

It really helps me keep track.

Restaurants have a tiny bit of a problem with used cooking fats, oil and grease clogging up their own plumbing as well as public sewer pipes. As a result of this it is illegal in most metropolitan areas for restaurateurs to dump their grease down the drain. And so restaurants install grease traps on all kitchen sink drains leading to the sewer system. The grease traps separate out fats, oils and grease (aka F.O.G. or FOG) from the water and store it until the grease trap is pumped out or cleaned.

San Francisco, and most counties and cities in the Northern California Area require that these grease traps be installed at all restaurants. The laws also state that grease traps must be properly maintained, and grease traps cleaned or pumped out on a regular basis.

If you need grease trap cleaning and pumping contact Sirona Fuels to arrange grease trap cleaning service

The San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California has thousands of restaurants who end up with massive amounts of used fats, cooking oil, and grease (F.O.G.) from their fryers. In the past Restaurateurs paid to remove this FOG from their establishments, but now-a-days, there are many companies competing to collect this valuable commodity and pay the restaurateurs cold hard cash for the privilege.

Used cooking oil is a valuable resource for the BioFuels industry, where it is most often converted to BioDiesel through a chemical process called trans esterfication. Old cooking oil is filtered, dried to remove water, and then heated and combined with a catalyst, separated into glycerine, and BioDiesel, washed and dried, and then used in Diesel Vehicles for fuel. This is perhaps the best use of fats, oils, and grease, since the old cooking oil is removed from the food chain.

Other uses for used restaurant fryer oil is for animal fattening in feed lots just before slaughter. The animals are fed a potent mixer of rendered animals, and fats and corn for increased caloric intake. This feed is actually toxic to the animals if they are fed it for an extended period. Also, you have to wonder about the effects on animal fed food made from it’s own kind, and being fed something no longer considered fit for human consumption. I think used cooking oil is best used locally as biodiesel feed stock.
