Running Vehicles or Plant Security Robots on Cooking Oil from Cafeteria

Perhaps you have heard the stories of people motoring around the country on cooking oil waste? This is not an urban myth. During the 60’s many had simply pulled up behind a fast food restaurant and gleefully taken away that waste and put it into their fuel tanks to run their diesel motors. The waste cooking oil works good as a fuel, it smells a little and smokes a little, but it works. Free fuel is a good deal even if you smell a bit like a giant french fry traveling around?

To use this cooking oil as fuel operators quickly learned that unless they wanted excessive smoke and rough running motors or gumming up the fuel lines, they had to run extra filtration on the vehicle. They often doubled or tripled up on filters of various types to clean the debris out of the fuel before it entered the engine.

These filters can easily be put on the Cooking Oil Waste Containers behind Institutional cafeterias, military mess halls, and industrial complex kitchens. The filtration can be done in advance of filling up the facility maintenance vehicles or Unmanned Ground Vehicles used for security of the installation, college, hospital, power plant, refinery or manufacturing facility.

The best filtration system might need to be larger than that of a typical dumpster waste collection box that you see currently behind restaurants. It should be a triple trap system, most likely resembling a Storm Water clarifier. In this case it would have two large tanks, one that the employees or robots would dump the waste into or in which a hose directly from the kitchen flowed into. Then a set of tanks which would pull from the bottom allowing the floating waste on top to be caught, then another which would take the oil from the center allowing the heavier debris to settle to the bottom, etc. The fuel would then flow into the final tank, which would have a filter on it similar to a gasoline filling station system only in a smaller form. The vehicle itself whether it a pick-up, diesel powered John Deere run-around or a high tech sensor guided unmanned security vehicle would also have it’s normal filter system and an add on kit upgrade.
