Todd et all,
I'm pretty sure that there isn't a way to recycle fryer oil.  It is supposed 
to be changed and disposed of after six hours in the fryer as it is 
considered carcinogenic as food at that point.  Less carcinogenic than 
dinodiesel to burn though!
Glad I'm not the only one still running 80's Toyota's!
