Too much of a good smell is a bad smell. Just try to sit next to someone that douses on gallons of after shave or perfume for more than a few minutes. Olfactory assault!

Until you end up breathing so much fat in via your lungs you end up dieing from a heart attack or lung congestion 20 years earlier than normal because someone didn't think through an idea. These are the same kinds of sollutions to perceived problems that have gotten us where we are environmentally today as it is. People look for the best of the instantanious results, instead of the worst of the long term ones.

This waste of space is because the crappy forum software won't allow me to make sort replies.

I'm no expert but I somehow think that diesel emissions are more dangerous than fat emissions.

I used to obtain used transformer oil for quite a low price in the '90s. This I used "as is" as a substitute for diesel in my Isuzu pick-up for 4 years with no ill effect on the engine, diesel pump or injectors.

I thought that transformer oil wasn't flammable.

Well, it worked for me! I think that just about any oil will do what diesel does if injected into compressed air (containing oxygen) - combustion will take place and that's what you want.

A diesel burns its fuel. A shop that makes french fries doesn't burn the oil. I think burning fry oil will make black smoke and stink as bad or worse as a diesel that burns petrolium diesel fuel.

You may be thinking of PCBs which were used in transformers prior to the 1970's. Hopefully Jtech didn't accidentally burn any of that in his Isuzu pick-up.
