It was all so simple to start with!

The original idea was to make "local fuel for local people".
If you could set up a fuel club using waste cooking oil to supply car fuel tosome of the local community you could satisfy so many interests, not least of which was your conscience, regarding the planets diminishing resources etc.

It would also be cheaper (a big plus) and you wouldn't be giving your hard earned cash to the global fuel giants. Sadly you still had to pay excise duty to HM Gov, but that's for another posting.

How difficult could it be? After all, the whole world was beginning to wake up to the evils of emmission output big style in 2005 and this would help. Even HMGov was banging on about lowering carbon output and setting up working groups left and right.

Actually some of the Agencies, Environment and unbelievably HM Revenue and Customs were very good about it. Made it easy to start.

So why does our Gov and the car makers resist it so vigorously I wonder?
