BIODIESEL MAKER ROB DEL BUENO: "I got hose." (Photo by Joeff Davis)

Biodiesel maker Rob Del Bueno is now accepting used residential fryer oil.

Atlanta’s Sultan of Safflower recently started collecting waste cooking oil in a bin at Refuel Biodiesel’s 250 Arizona Ave filling station, just south of Dekalb Ave in Edgewood.

Even if you don’t give a hoot about biodiesel, you should still consider dumping your waste cooking oil in the bin.

Cooking oil clogs household drain pipes and municipal sewers.

Del Bueno’s press release is after the jump.

I drive a 1973 Mercedes that runs on petro-diesel, biodiesel, or any combination of the two.

This means I do not have to wait in long lines to fill up my tank as there is plenty of diesel around town.

Unfortunately, this also means I can’t use “I don’t have gas” as an excuse to work from home this week.

Doh!

Watch Atlanta alt-fuel hero Rob del Bueno deliver a hypnotic sales pitch to CNN on the merits of biodiesel, the production of which he oversees for Refuel Biodiesel.

I swear, del Bueno could sell water to a well. Good thing the product he’s touting — non-petroleum fuel made from recycled cooking oil that’s siphoned from local restaurants — helps reduce our carbon footprint and our reliance on foreign oil. Oh, and it’s WAY cheaper than regular diesel .
