service

What does everyone think about this deal.

Say you are a restaurant owner or heavy user of vegetable oil and you have a lot of waste oil to get rid of. Most people are beginning to realize that they can filter their own oil instead of paying to have it taken away.

Do you think a restaurant owner would let me (or anyone) filter their oil for them, and take a commission in oil for the service?

So say Joe Restaurant Owner has a 50 gallon tank of waste vegetable oil, but he doesn't want to filter it, but he has a diesel and would like to use it to drive or make a blow torch or something.

If I filtered it for him, and took half, am I being too greedy? Or is this a good deal?

Thanks for any sort of reply.

"One of the goals of Green Diesels is to share the knowledge of vegetable oil use in a diesel engine. The two ways we do this are through teaching workshops and working hands-on with vehicle owners to convert their own diesels. We continually test new products and strategies to offer the most durable and user friendly products available. [...]

Green diesels designs and installs custom fuel systems that utilize pure vegetable oil as fuel. We charge $25/hour labor on these systems. The total price, with parts, ranges from $1000 to $1800 for a car. Trucks range from $1200 to $3200.

We work with the vehicle's owners to design a system that suits their needs. We encourage the owner to participate in part/all of the installation process. This gives owners an extra edge when it comes to maintaining their own systems.
