Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 According to SF Biofuels' web site, the oil IS made from recycled oil: " We currently have biodiesel made from recycled vegetable oil from a plant in California.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 - sorry, the web site is not up to date I just checked yesterday, currently, the biodiesel made by the co-op is made from NEW veg oil. The reason for that, they want to make sure the biodiesel is not containmated in any way. (remember the City of Berkeley disaster? their garbage truck did not run at times due to bad biodiesel) Currently the biodiesel is selling for $3.92 per gal ($3.50 for volunteers which is the at cost price) In the future, if biodiesel is made with used oil and made in large quantities, it can cost under $2.50 per gal (even as low as $2) === my car has been converted to run on straight veg oil.. and at times, my car runs on veg oil that were used to fry vegetables by local vegan/vegetarian restaurants (definately no animal products) thanks for your research Ellisa answer from Ellisa Thanks for getting back to me. That's unfortunate that they use new oil; hopefully they will be able to improve the technology in converting recycled oil so they won't have issues like they did in Berkeley (I wasn't aware of this - so appreciate the below). One of the fears is that farmers will grow crops for fuel instead of food and that could set a dangerous precedence. Good to see you are using recycled oil for the most part. If I had a car, would try to do the same.
