Westchester, New York has decided to take all of the cooking oil from their 3,500 restaurants and turning them into a cleaner alternative fuel source. Every 10,000 gallons of cooking oil obtained, Westchester could save around $25,000.
It's great that Westchester is doing this, as long as restaurants want to participate. Imagine, a car driving down the road, and instead of the exhaust smelling like carbon monoxide, it smells like someone is cooking in the kitchen. I want to know how cooking oil is cleaner. And what the process it takes to convert it into fuel. Do you just dump it in the gas tank? Or does it take a machiene to convert it?
