I would think that the methyl ester of fatty acids from restaurant fry baths would work as well in home heating oil units as it does in diesel engines. A blend up to 30% with the petroleum distillate should work fine, the pure stuff with minor modifications to the burners. The price advantage would not be nearly as good as with vehicles because of the motor fuel taxes, but I don't see any technical reason that it would't work. Has anybody tried this? Comments, please.-Jitney
