Ooops - Hydrogenated Oil

This afternoon Craig drove to our second source of WVO to obtain a few gallons of fuel. It was only after loading several containers that Craig realized the oil was hydrogenated which is not only unhealthy for humans but undesirable for greasecars due to it's potential to clog fuel lines. Once the situation was explained to the restaurant employees they appeared more disappointed than Craig, and decided to explore the possibility of switching to a non-hydrogenated frying oil. Obviously cost will be a primary factor in their decision but they are committed to environmental issues and are by far the most enthusiastic vendors we've encountered. So it's possible that our efforts will not only significantly reduce our emissions but also improve the health of the diners frequenting our suppliers.
