you run into Fed and State Clean Air rules doing that becausse of the metals
content among other things.
Steam engine are legal to do that,in most states and reqires buying a
permit.Additioally ,you if you buy it
have be in large enorgh volumes for an oilchanger to use you
exclusively...600+ gallons a week at .10 to
.25 cents a gallon taxfree,almost.You have a tank permit that you have to
pay which averages out to a tax.
After you figure in the permit price your light plant expense is more like
.35 a gallon.

Why not use used vegetable oil. You'll live longer, and so will the engine.
