Got a Question?
My family owns a restaraunt. We go through about 17gallons of vegetable oil a week. Can I just run this through a cheese cloth and mix it in my truck. Or do you have to do something?

I know several people that just filter it and run it 20% or so... Get yourself a good PRE PUMP filter with a 2 micron rating and go to town...
