Glad to hear this, for some rough math the 20,000 liters of vegetable oil (unprocessed) is roughly 5,200 gallons[1].<p>Let's assume we lose no volume during the processing to biodiesel, the average semi carries about 200 gallons of fuel[2] -- so that provides 26 fillups for the year of biodiesel.<p>Not huge, but it's a great start. That is still a lot of oil not getting thrown out.<p>[1] <a href="http://goo.gl/MIhxV" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/MIhxV</a> [2] <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080326203920AAQWTcT" rel="nofollow">http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080326203920AA...</a>
