Allston – The environmentally friendly group GreenGreaseMonkey will be leading a workshop on Waste Veggie Oil Car Conversion on Sunday May 18th from 9.30am-5.30pm in Allston, Ma. Learn how to run a diesel car, truck or tractor off the used grease from your local fried food place.
According to Patrick Keaney and Jamie Merkle of GreenGreaseMoneky, vegetable oil is sustainable because it is plant-based, which means the fuel you’ll burn is derived from plants, not fossil fuel deposits. It is cleaner because it emits far fewer greenhouse gases and carcinogens than petroleum-based diesel and it is often free because most restaurant owners would rather have you take their grease away than pay someone else to dispose of it. With proper filtration, you can have an abundant supply of free fuel for your vehicle at your local pizza parlor, Chinese food restaurant, bar and grill, or donut shop.
