SUMMARY
This discussion centers on converting used oils, specifically engine and food oils, into flammable liquids for use in gasoline engines. Jonathan seeks methods to generate electricity from waste oil and explores the potential of a GEET reactor. Participants emphasize that used engine oil cannot be separated into gasoline or diesel components and suggest burning it directly leads to pollution. They recommend recycling used oil for lubrication and highlight that burning used cooking oil in diesel engines is feasible, referencing successful experiments with heavy fuel diesel engines.
