Has anyone been able to collect at the Donut-making companies like Krispy-Kremes stores? Seems like that would be a great source of relatively clean WVO. I also have a couple of tortilla-chip mfrs here that I am going to approach.

 

I get some of my "oil" from a place the makes donuts as a sideline. Most bakerys use Lard, which is a solid at room temps. I have to heat it up to flow, and mix just a little in with my reg oil. I've saved up about 40 gal so far, and I'm going to make a batch out of just it, and see how it smells when it is burned!

The Krispy Kreme donut website says this about their oil:
