I've been doing that for 10 years, (spread over 2 mk2 cars) ramping up
slowly on mix, this year, 100% fat and by winter, a 2nd heated tank with
valves. A block heater is your easy-start friend.

Big problem is cultivating the oil sources, they are beginning to clue in.
Need to kiss their butts to get clean oil free.

I actually get someone else who is a super negotiator to set up the deal,
then I play "quasimodo" to go and collect it.

Once in place, you MUST be clean, quick, and diligent (reliable) to keep
your deal, as others (fast talkers) will try to take it over.
