Name, I'm all for it. However, I honestly believe that if there was profit in it it would be getting done. I would suspect the holdup on such action comes from several fronts -
Not enough people drive diesels to make it worth while at present.
Those who drive diesels may not be willing or able to shoulder the cost of conversion.
Car manufacturers would have to be convinced that consumers would purchase diesels (perhaps veggie oil ready) to increase their production of them.
No consumer would buy these cars until the infrastructure was in place to allow for refueling with ease somewhat close to finding the corner gas station. The investment to provide for that is billions of dollars.
I don't see any industry being willing to take the risk.
If these industries did, I doubt it would be any economical to pay for collection and processing of the used vegetable oil. I would suspect that fresh veggie oil would be required. Should the use of this go widespread, then there would be more investments required to drastically increase production of vegetable oil. Doesn't the oil in fryers at restaurants get changed only once a day? I am not sure. I just doubt that the restaurant industry would not have enough to be recycled to make a difference.
