RE: Running (diesel) on burger 'n fry grease

["John Katos" <john_katos@domain.elided>]

I'm not sure of french fry grease, but I do know that diesel fuel and
gasoline for off-road and/or farm use cannot be used legally for road
vehicles. Not wanting to get moved to the offtopic list all I will say
is fuel road taxes are levied to pay for our nations roads.

So John,  are you saying that the folks running their diesel on redux French
fry grease are violating the law.  No mention of that on the website
grease.com?
