Replying to a message of TOM WALKER to ROY WITT:

 BA>>> Heating oil is up $.40 in the past week or so.  It's now about
 BA>>> $3.35/gallon. Dunno what I'm going to do next winter.

 RW>> Start collecting used deep fry oil from the fast food
 RW>> joints...there's a method to clean and thin it so it should work.

 TW> For a Diesel Car that may work but it is Hardly practical concidering
 TW> the Usage rate for House Heating. 

Yesterday I helped install an industrial garage door (14wx13h), replacing the one
that was there.  The garage is heated, apparently with waste motor oil.  The guy
there said they went through about 5,700 gallons of it over a winter.  Note that
(a) it's a big garage - four bays, each about 35 feet deep with 16 foot ceilings and
(b) he kept the inside at 72F.  There was a huge tank of waste oil on one wall, it
must have been six feet in diameter and fifteen feet long.
