W.V.O. / Waste Vegetable Oil

Having run the car for the best part of the last month on a mix of Diesel / Sunflower Oil, I today took the next logical step in saving money by getting 25 Litres of used Vegetable Oil from my local chippy. This was free to me to take away as normally they pay to dispose of it!

With rudimentary apparatus and a desire to get free miles I've set about filtering and making the oil ready for use.

First of all, the oil was filtered through a nylon kitchen sieve to remove the B.C.B's ( Burn't crispy bits !), and will now be left 24hrs to settle.

Next step will be to filter through a muslin cloth (similar to that used when making jam), and hopefully after that start adding in with the sunflower oil.

I'll let you know how I get on !
