In most cases a restaurant will be happy to simply give you their used oil, since they would otherwise have to pay to dispose of it, however a waste carriers licence will be required. If you require large quantities of used oil you could arrange a local collection company to deliver larger volumes. This service will cost anywhere between 10 ? 25p per litre.

Yes. You can safely use B20 in an oil furnace. We do know people using B100 (100% biodiesel) in their home heating systems without any modifications. You can get B100 delivered for your oil furnace, just check our [Biodiesel Sources] page. If your oil tank is in good condition it should store well. See similar questions...

Peanut oil has been used by the Chinese for hundreds of years because of its high oil content and because it can be extracted easily by a primitive process. In recent years, other vegetable oils have become increasingly popular in Chinese kitchens. Polyunsaturated vegetable oils, such as corn, soybean, cottonseed and sunflower oil, are being used.

Biodiesel can be used in any internal combustion diesel engine. Biodiesel can either be used in its pure form known as B100, or it can be mixed at any level with regular petroleum diesel. Some common mixtures are 20% biodiesel with 80% petro-diesel (B20) and 5% biodiesel with 95% petro-diesel (B5). See similar questions...

Oil banks are not for used cooking oil. Large amounts of used cooking oil from factories, restaurants and food outlets can be recycled so contact your local authority for details on what facilities are available for disposing of waste cooking oil in your area. Recycled cooking oil can be refined and used to make detergents or converted into bio fuels and some organisations will collect the waste free of charge or will buy it from you.

Please provide some direction with regard to requesting a Plot Plan Review. For what I believe is a Yard Modification request. I'm planning to build a retaining wall and a block wall, apparently there is an issue regarding the height of the wall. See similar questions...

There is a large number of staff employed in the oil industry predominantly based around West Africa. Employees commonly travel to these areas every 4-6 weeks, followed by a similar period of leave back in the UK. Oil rigs may be based in river estuaries or many miles offshore. As the level of risk may be difficult to assess until one period of work has been completed, malaria prevention tablets should be taken for the whole of this first trip. See similar questions...

A Saffola Oil is an all purpose cooking oil. Its light, clear color and mild, delicate flavor make it excellent for salads, sauteing, and baking. And because Saffola Oil is high in monounsaturates, it is extremely heat stable, excellent for frying, and can be used in place of any cooking oil. See similar questions...

No. Hydrogenation is an industrial process where hydrogen molecules are introduced to the oil to make it solid at room temperatures. It chemically alters the oil and creates harmful trans fatty acids. Cooking with coconut oil does NOT introduce hydrogen into the oil or hydrogenate it. Coconut oil is a very stable oil even at higher temperatures. However, it is best not to cook beyond the smoke point of coconut oil, as this will begin to deteriorate the oil and turn it yellow.

Nothing. Simply fill your diesel fuel tank with biodiesel and drive away. If you plan on switching over to pure biodiesel it is important to understand its properties ("Concerns"). To prevent any problems before they occur, ensure that only fuel meeting the biodiesel ASTM specification is used. Based on user experience, no vehicle modifications appear to be necessary for blends of biodiesel as high as 20% biodiesel mixed with diesel fuel. See similar questions...

First, you need to have a diesel engine. Any engine that runs on diesel #2 will run on biodiesel. Other than having a diesel engine, there is nothing you need to do specifically to convert your car to biodiesel. For pre-1994 vehicles, it is often said that you need to replace your rubber hoses with synthetic ones, but that is not necessary unless you have a leak. See similar questions...

Diesel engines of today have been altered to meet diesel #2 viscosity standards. Straight vegetable oil such as the peanut oil used by Rudolph Diesel in his engine at the turn of the century is much thicker. This is one thing that has kept biodiesel out of the arena for so long. Today, a chemical reaction called transesterification is used to thin the vegetable oil. See similar questions...

Our answer is: "?". There are serious complaints about this: many people would prefer a "loose" conversion, so that 81CA (NOT SIGN) in sjis becomes 81CA (FULLWIDTH NOT SIGN) in cp932. We are considering a change to this behavior. See similar questions...

The oil is specially indicated for the eye area, to treat expression lines and crows feet. Apply the oil sparingly and not too close to the eyes. If some gets into the eye, rinse immediately. A slight irritation may result. Bioglo Rose Hip Oil does not interact with other cosmetics and make-up, and is thus safe for use with other products. See similar questions...

By used oil, we mean the lubricating oil, or 'sump oil' as it is sometimes called, that has gone through the engines of cars, trucks, farm machines and boats. Not cooking oils. See similar questions...

Olive oil is excellent for stir frying, sautéing, deep frying, roasting and braising, and brushing on food before and during grilling and barbecuing. Olive oil can be heated to a much higher temperature in cooking that most other oils without damaging any of the fatty acids. It also forms a seal around food so that less fat is absorbed into the food. It can be filtered after frying and used up to 10 times, because olive oil is stable at high temperatures.

Absolutely! Industrial research in Japan has shown that stevia and stevioside extracts are extremely heat stable in a variety of everyday cooking and baking situations. Please note, stevia does not caramelize nor brown as sugar does. See similar questions...

The oil company benefits by decreased marketing costs. These savings are then passed on to NYPIRG Fuel Buyers Group participants. This way they are still making a profit, but consumers benefit as well. See similar questions...

Quite. Just about every Symbian OS C++ API you come across will use descriptors for transferring text and binary data somewhere, so if you've used C strings, you are going to have a problem using these APIs. You'll have to do the conversion every time you want to use an API call requiring a descriptor, which is inefficient. So you might as well keep reading, and learn how to use descriptors correctly.
