Show Notes: Buy a Greasel, you too can be a frygirl!

This week on the show I talked with a Mom who bought a “greasel” on eBay. Basically it’s an older Mercedes Benz with a diesel engine that has been converted over to run mostly on waste vegetable oil. This show is great for all those looking to buy a Greasal or those that ever wanted to just know what a Greasal is.

Greasel basically refers an automobile that has been converted over to run solely on an alternative oil such as waste vegetable, “yes the kind that is used for cooking!”. The many forms include:

• Bio-Diesel
• Vegetable oil you have the option of  using soybean or fryer, waste or no waste oil
• Regular Diesel

Lisa was first exposed to the thought using waste vegetable oil for fuel after a trip to the zoo, which led to a year of research into unconventional fueling. She eventually bought her Mercedes through eBay and is extremely happy with the outcome.

Converted Greasal allows you to use two different system of the method of fueling in which the frybrid will run on. The two-tank system using bio-diesel to begin with and switches to the waste vegetable oil in car w/ a few shifts of the car. However the oil is stored either in the trunk or the backseat of your car. The single tank system allows for more organization and easier to manage.

Lisa gets all of her oil through restaurants in the area that are more than willing to work with her and pleased about her decision. She explains that the filtration system of the waste oil is minimal and the waste filtration systems can be bought also on eBay.

I encourage anyone to hear this fascinating story and possibly take their own step toward unorthodox fueling.
