Used Cooking Oil

Postby tom84 » Mon Dec 16, 2019 1:40 pm

Dear All,

I am looking for someone/people who might be able to supply me with used cooking oil during the christmas period. If you have a stall/restaurant/or a deep fat fryer at home and you live on the costa tropical and you might be able to give me your old oil please get in touch.

Churros oil is the best for my purposes but old veggie oil is good as long as it hasn't got bits or animal fats in it, is a decent quantity (+2 l), and doesn't contain palm oil.

Thank you
Tom, Almunecar

Out of interest what do you want it for? Are you running something on it?

yes, running an old diesel car on it. much better for the environment! It would be really good to get some help with this. I will be in Almunecar from the 23rd for a week.

Isnt that illegal? Sure i read somewhere recently that it was illegal to run a car on 'fuel' on which the appropriate duty hadn't been paid.
Regards

Not sure of the rules in Spain but in the UK the law is if you process/recycle less than 2500L a year it is legal.

I followed an old Toyota Land Cruiser down the road and it smelt like a fish and chip shop. Clearly running on chip fat.
