FuelPod2 is a home biofuel processor. Just pour that used fryer oil into one end and out the other comes a cheap and ecologically pleasant biodiesel. The fuel is good enough to run any standard diesel engined car without modifications, and it won’t affect your performance either. It’s cheaper too, which means that it should pay for itself very quickly, especially with the sky rocketing price of crude at the moment. You just need to find some friendly local restaurants to donate, and you will be good to go!

I read an article once on a guy that drove across the U.S. stopping at restaurants,and getting their grease to use as fuel.This is a really good product to help conserve fuel,and also help to clean the evironment of waste at the same time.

Considering today’s oil & gas prices worldwide this is a really great (& eco-friendly) product
May all people were using such technologies…

with all that fried food, you’ll be too fat to fit behind the wheel!

Where do you put the methanol?? This seems like false advertising. If it made Biodiesel, any unconverted diesel engine could run on it. But if it just filters oil, then it needs to be pre-heated before entering the engine…thats called a modification.
This would be great for people with converted diesel cars.

I agree with the ;last post.. BIO DIESEL needs to be made form the waist oil. Waist oil can be run directly as long as you can keep it flowing 2 Important points i would like to bring out.First the diesel engine was original made to run on veggie oil to power small shops.. Second BIO DIESEL needs an additive as it lacks a tad in lubricating qualities and this is needed for the fuel injectors long life as the needles in one moves with the “Squirt” of fuel into the cylinder.. I love this idea but if u do it be sure to filter the oil real good ( French fries have a hard time squeezing through the injector),Also be careful as fats ie lard etc will work but they cause deteration of the flex lines and other rubber synthetic parts..
