Waste cooking oils for a my bio diesel (taxes, restaurants)

[Travelling_dude]

Hello everyone, I'm doing a canada wide road trip and my diesel truck uses waste cooking oils to run! I've been calling different restaurants in the ottawa area and they seem pretty hard up on me getting there oils. My question is does anyone have any tips or places they know that can help me out it would really be appreciated! Thanks

I'm just guessing but i think most restaurants deal with some business that buys their old oil so they arent that motivated to sell it to private parties.Maybe getting in touch with the company that picks up the old oil might prove beneficial.
A quick Google search under"Picking up waste restaurant oil ottawa" comes up with several sites like this one.

Maybe something in one of these sites

Or you could call the cities recycling department.

Most bio-Diesel fuel is processed to remove the glycerol to reduce temperature related viscosity and gelling. Never the less most diesel engines operate well on straight filtered new or used cooking oil. I suppose most restaurants and food processors have existing arrangements with waste oil haulers/reprocessesors. Maybe these folks sell direct to the public with arrangements to pay the road use taxes.

I haven't seen any locks on the cooking oil collection bins out back.
Tip the cook.
