The smell of cooking food is actually air pollution, study finds
Overall, researchers concluded that air pollution from cooking is vastly underestimated and could account for nearly a quarter of VOCs in urban areas. The problem is even more acute indoors and inside homes.
What this means for air quality management remains to be seen. Having the data, Coggon believes, is the first step.
You vill not cook the food to make it tasty, besides it is a fire hazard in your pod anyway.

lol this is partly why when I was young I wanted to convert a diesel VW bug or something to run on cooking oil, because I hear the exhaust smelled fricking great and you could pay restaurants pennies on the dollar to buy their used oil from them instead of them having to pay a disposal company extra to haul it away

Restaurants pay to have it taken, a dude I knew got paid like $300/mo which was way, way less than going rate to take used fry oil

exactly! which is why it was such a good idea to do if you could find a source
The necessary filtering process to make it usable seemed to cancel a lot of the work out though, but maybe it's improved over the last 15 years since I seriously looked into it lol

Nah it's still a pain. Gotta build a big processing system to filter it and if you live in colder climes then you gotta run fuel heaters.
If you have time to piss around it's gr8, i think the diesel VW Rabbit was the go to. Modern diesels probably too picky

I was big into lead acid electric and diy biodiesel at one point. The biggest issue is you gotta keep emptying the restaurant's vat, so then you need a gigantic storage tank or smth.
Biodiesel gets outta hand fast. Some junkyard or smth here tried refining it and levelled half their lot a few years back

Don't you think a giant holding tank full of rancid, congealed oil and 3 rusted out diesels would be so much more cottagecore tho

One of the cooler dads in Boy Scouts had a diesel truck that ran on fry oil. Always smelled like the best fresh fries when it he was around
The other thing is, I'm not sure it's legal? You can dodge diesel taxes which the
in congress don't like - they say it's for 
emissions 
reasons . At least that's what someone told me

I think the laws surrounding vehicles prove just how right the founding fathers were about governments inherent tendency to overreach.
