Yeah clogged the injectors I bet.If you do it that way you better change your fuel filters very often every 2k~3k miles.You have to know what they use to fry with some places use lard which is a no go sooner or later.In the US guys like to go to Asian joints as they tend to use peanut oil so do most fast food joints.I'm betting in Slovenia they might be more likely to use lard peanut oil might be expensive there.

Some guys vacuum the vats at a restaurant or bakery what ever into a large tank mounted on trailer then they go home and pump it into tanks and run it through a filtering process.I'd rather let someone else do that part full time and use a little more chemistry as well save me the trouble that way they have made sure that the oil is kosher so to speak and they can add in anti gelling agents as well.To do it properly is a full time job if you get enough customers its well worth it 1 55 gallon drum could last two or three weeks for a truck more for a small car so people buy in bulk.Or you could also have a pump and sell it that way.

I read on a truck forum a guy said that he drove from Virginia to California in a pickup and he has a little set up on his truck to process he claimed to have used 165 gallons(one way) on the trip that is roughly 18 MPG not bad on normal diesel you get around 12~14 in a large pickup.A small car if it normally gets 40 MPG it must go to 48 or 50 MPG take that hybrid car. Oil companies hate people like me.

The industrial bio is mostly made from soy beans though.
