Where do you get your chip fat from to run in your cars? And what do you do with the empty containers?

I dont blame you I was reading the other thread with Gracie, Ran and a few others on about running their cars on it. I was tempted to run my Mondy Td on it but the fuel consumption looks really good compared to my 740

I would of thought Costco or Makro would be cheap for the fat

simple its a thing called "DUTY" you can run chip fat as long as you declare it to customs who average out how much you use and you pay accordingly,its call bio disel
Red is for farm and plant use only you are only allowed to use red on the road for a certain distance IE farmers who have land down the road I think its 15 miles,
