Soybean Oil or other plant oil sources

[ndurbin]

Has anyone found any sources to buy soybean oil or any other plant oils to use to make biodiesel out of? I would prefer to use something other than used veggie oil if possible.



TIA

Did find a place called Alibaba Manufacturing Direct that has several foreign sources but still not much luck for any national or local sources yet.

I can buy food-grade soybean oil from Smart & Final for about $2. 99 a gallon in a 4. 25 gallon plastic "bottle". I would think that food-grade would be more expensive than just old bulk soybean oil, and then there is the cost of the bottle. There MUST be someone who knows where a big storage tank of soybean oil is... just waiting for us to back up to it!!

Has anyone tried or thought of a wholesale food supply house? Net search?

Stakeout the local chinese food place until they get a delivery?:laf:

I don't really understand your concern with using use oil, it works very well and cuts the total cost several $. I have made several 100 gals and it works great. As for usin soybean oil I wouldn't recommend it unless you live in a warm area in the winter. Soy made bio will jell at a warmer temp then peanut, corn, or canola.

It's not really a concern, I'd call it more of a personal preference to support farmers rather than McDonalds or whoever the used oil comes from.



I am well aware of the effects of being in a cooler climate and gelling. I was planning to run a blend of 80% #2 and 20% Plant Oil for awhile until the fuel system cleans up. Then increase the Plant Oil % as time goes by.

I don't enjoy the thought of sucking up to restaraunts for their oil, then "making my rounds" every week or so to collect it.

I'd much rather pay the premium and have a couple 55 gallon drums dropped off at my house

With the proper processing, animal fats can be converted.



A lot of that byproduct is consumed in animal feeds, but could also be converted for fuels.

Maybe we could convert Illegal Aliens into diesel fuel! We'd just lipo-suction them as they come across the border!

 

[Headshot zod]

lipo... ... hmmmmmmmm fat liberals, that is what we need to render.



They say that you can make biodiesel for around . 70 a gallon if the oil is free. What you need to find is non food grade quality veggie oil.

Getting a little racial arn't we? How about blacks? Think they'd make good fuel? How 'bout Rush Limbaugh? I'm sure we could render a lot of fuel out of that fat piece of sh#t :-laf :-laf :-laf :-laf
