So Erik,
     Do you process your own biodeisel?  Unfortunately there's  
precious little waste oil in these parts that isn't spoken for.   
Waste cooking oil is used for making glycerine and some soaps, and  
commercial outfits have deals with most larger chains.  There's the  
odd mom and pop taco stand as an oil source I suppose.  You say you  
have two tanks, one biodiesel and one straight veg.  What is your  
vegetable oil source?
