Thief sucked used Burger King grease into 1,600 gallon truck container to resell for biofuel

Strange the article didn’t investigate who this boss is?

Follow that thought.

The implication is that the ‘Boss’ is a broker and sells to a biodiesel refinery. There is only one close enough to make transporting grease worthwhile: Virginia Biodiesel Refinery, due east of Richmond at West Point. How do you determine if used grease you’re buying is stolen? [crickets]

$2/gal for a feedstock makes the refined biodiesel extravagantly expensive as fuel, only practical as a 2-5% additive to restore the lubricity lost from de-sulfuring regular diesel.

Yes, I drive a VW TDI.
