biodiesel mixes [RE-wrenches]

I believe most "waste" fryer oil is recycled to be reused as fryer oil 
again... unless it is burned in someone's "green" bio diesel truck first.

This is probably getting too far off topic for the wrench list... but 
trying to come up with a greener work truck is a concern of mine. The 
best answer I can come up with is replacing the engine on my 225,000 
mile, 1986 Toyota, 4 cyl, 4WD pickup. 18 to 25 MPG isn't that bad I guess.
