Can the oil be used after cold pressing the kernels or do I still need to filter it out?How can I produce cooking oil from Palm Oil Kernels?
You can cold pressing the oil and you have to filter it because little peaces of the kernels also passes the press. After that you have to heat up the oil in order to destroy enzymes which lead to oil degradation within a short time.How can I produce cooking oil from Palm Oil Kernels?
Yeah just filter out the pure oil and use it.

Neighbor throwing cooking oil next to my house on my property, what can I do?
I live in Texas in a new subdivision and my neighbor is throwing cooking oil on my property next to my house, what can I do. I called the home owners association and the health association and they can do anything about it. They advised me to go to the civil court? What should I do?Neighbor throwing cooking oil next to my house on my property, what can I do?
You can call Environmental Health. This is gross, and very dangerous.
If that does not work call the fire department.Neighbor throwing cooking oil next to my house on my property, what can I do?
get a restraining order against your neighbour. if he does it again then he can go to jail. the restraining order can also prevent him from taking it out on you or your family where ever he might meet your family or any of your property such as your cars, your fence,etc. if he should meet any of your family members in public, at a store or restaurants,etc. he has to stay a certain distance from you. if he doesn't then he can be arrested and jailed. to get a restraining order go to your county courthouse tell them you need a restraining order against a neighbour. they will give you a form to fill out. make sure you know his name and address.
Contact the environmental dept and explain that he is dumping pollutants on you property.
Go to civil court.
civil court
Throw it back.
call the city - there are laws against that .
Ask them to stop!
buy a dog..!!
or get some of ur food and trow it back!!
or just call the police!!

Is there a way to make my non-diesel car run on cooking oil or something other than regular gasoline?
I know there's a conversion kit to allow diesel cars to switch over to cooking oil but is there any way a regular car can do that? It doesn't have to be cooking oil. Just something other than gasoline.Is there a way to make my non-diesel car run on cooking oil or something other than regular gasoline?
You can also modify your engine to run on compressed natural gas, like a lot of United Parcel trucks. It's not a simple conversion, but it can be done.Is there a way to make my non-diesel car run on cooking oil or something other than regular gasoline?
You might want to call the NWTC automotive or diesel instructors. They've really been getting into alternative fuel vehicles in the past year or two (including the diesel-cooking oil thing, but also hybrid vehicles, etc.) I don't think I've heard of them converting a gasoline engine, but they would know what's possible and what's practical.
FYI, I don't think you need a conversion kit to put biodiesel in a diesel car; area soybean farmers are putting it into their old tractors. I do think you have to be aware of extreme cold. You can also mix biodiesel with regular diesel.
My personal solution: bought an old compact car that gets twice the gas mileage that our SUV does. It will pay for itself in 1 year and cut our emissions in half right away.
Nope. You'll void the warranty and pollution laws, for one thing. Put bio-diesel in your tank and your car won't be running at all until you can somehow clean out the fuel tank.
And while gasoline is expensive, it's a lot cheaper than anything else. Alcohol, for example, has maybe half the energy of gasoline, and so you can guess what that will do for mileage and performance. You could try compressed natural gas, but it will be an interesting exercise: I don't know how you do it with a fuel-injected car, which built for liquid fuels only.
So the solution is probably to learn how to get along using your car less. Driving slower helps a lot as well.
spark ignition engines cannot run cooking oil as a fuel. the problem is not enough compression pressure, and thus not enough heat in the combustion chamber. same thing with diesel. you can mix a small amount of diesel in with gasoline and burn that.
you can use alcohol as a fuel provided you replace any plastic in the fuel system, use larger injectors, and reflash the computer to hand alcohol.
Craigslist will let you convert your car into a different one that runs diesel. Then you just have to modify it to run veggie oil.
No gas is about the only choice you have.
I currently run Bio Fuel (straight vegetable) in a 1999 Dodge 3500 truck. But all Cummins engines were modified from the factory to run on BioD since around 1992 without any modification.
Biofuel is recognized by both the US Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy as an alternative fuel, and qualifies for mandated programs under the Clean Air Act Amendments and the Environmental Protection Act of 1992 (EPAct).
USDA Clears Air with Biofuel: Buses and other diesel-burning vehicles run cleaner if they mix biofuel with regular diesel fuel, said the US Department of Agriculture at a biofuel fuel seminar at a USDA research center.
Conversely most major automotive manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, etc) recommend the use of bio fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.
In fact your probably even driving an ethanol car and didn't even know it.
The trick is finding fuel.
I've been producing biofuel for about 3 years now, it's not extremely difficult. Basically you need general household ingredients, a processor (or still for ethanol) and some used oil. Blend it, let separate, screen and use. I complied a guide a while back to help walk you threw the process step by step, just email me or check out..

鈥?1 liter of new vegetable oil, whatever the supermarket sells as cooking oil
鈥?200 ml of methanol, 99+% pure
鈥?lye catalyst -- either potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
鈥?blender or mini-processor
鈥?scales accurate to 0.1 grams, preferably less -- 0.01 grams is best
鈥?measuring beakers for methanol and oil
鈥?half-liter translucent white HDPE (#2 plastic) container with bung and screw-on cap
鈥?2 funnels to fit the HDPE container
鈥?2-litre PET bottle (water or soft-drinks bottle) for settling
鈥?two 2-litre PET bottles for washing
鈥?duct tape
鈥?thermometer
Use the ';Methoxide the easy way'; method -- it's also the safe way. Here's how to do it.
Measure out 200 ml of methanol and pour it into the half-liter HDPE container via the funnel. Methanol also absorbs water from the atmosphere so do it quickly and replace the lid of the methanol container tightly. Don't be too frightened of methanol, if you're working at ordinary room temperature and you keep it at arm's length you won't be exposed to dangerous fumes.
Carefully add the lye to the HDPE container via the second funnel. Replace the bung and the screw on the cap tightly.
Shake the container a few times -- swirl it round rather than shaking it up and down. The mixture gets hot from the reaction. If you swirl it thoroughly for a minute or so five or six times over a period of time the lye will completely dissolve in the methanol, forming sodium methoxide or potassium methoxide. As soon as the liquid is clear with no undissolved particles you can begin the process.
The more you swirl the container the faster the lye will dissolve. With NaOH it can take from overnight to a few hours to as little as half-an-hour with lots of swirling (but don't be impatient, wait for ALL the lye to dissolve). Mixing KOH is much faster, it dissolves in the methanol more easily than NaOH and can be ready for use in 10 minutes.
Using a blender. Use a spare blender you don't need or get a cheap secondhand one -- cheap because it might not last very long, but it will get you going until you build something better.
Check that the blender seals are in good order. Make sure all parts of the blender are clean and dry and that the blender components are tightly fitted.
Pre-heat the oil to 55 deg C (130 deg F) and pour it into the blender.
With the blender still switched off, carefully pour the prepared methoxide from the HDPE container into the oil.
Secure the blender lid tightly and switch on. Lower speeds should be enough. Blend for at least 20 minutes.
Using a mini-processor. Follow the instructions below and improvise where necessary -- there are many ways of building a processor like this.
Proceed with processing as above, maintain temperature at 55 deg C (130 deg F), process for one hour.

How do I remove an cooking oil stain from a t-shirt?
I used Dawn dish soap to get my cooking oil stains out of my clothes.How do I remove an cooking oil stain from a t-shirt?
Put a pinch of cornstarch or baby powder with cornstarch on the spot. Rub it in. Wait as long as you can (10 minutes or a day). Dust it off and wash it as you would. You can skip the washing step if the t-shirt is on your body -- just keep dusting it. If the spot doesn't go away, repeat the process with the cornstarch. Cornstarch absorbs the oil out of the fabric.How do I remove an cooking oil stain from a t-shirt?
spray the stain with simple green or any other degreeser...simple green works best though...and wash as normal.
I also agree with using Dawn...and just letting it sit in for a bit. Another product that works really well is Greased Lightning...it's a household cleaner (degreaser) that I wouldn't be without and can also be used to pre-treat laundry.
Try putting Dawn dish soap on the spot, rubbing it in and then washing it.
Use Dawn dish washing liquid it breaks up any oil stain fast! Be sure to use cold water to make it really lather.
I have no idea but want to hear all they answers, because I'm a real messy cook and half my clothes are ruined.
I swear by Goo Gone. I haven't found anything that it won't remove from clothing. My son gets motor oil on his shirts and it takes it out like magic.
nothing will remove a saturated oil stain out of any material, made for clothes, if you cook alot, try a apron that drapes from your neck. are invest into some good dye, and tye dye them babies.consolidate

How do you discard of cooking oil (2 Liters) that was used for frying chicken?
I certainly will not be pouring the oil down my drain, but I'm not sure how to get rid of all of this oil properly. I was thinking of waiting to see if it hardens and then throwing it out with the garbage. However, I'm guessing it could take a really long time for this much oil to harden, maybe even days... I really dont want chicken fried oil sitting in my kitchen all week. What should I do?How do you discard of cooking oil (2 Liters) that was used for frying chicken?
As you wisely said, don't put it down any of your plumbing.
Let it cool first. Then put in a sealed container - old glad plastic ware, liter soda bottles, coffee can with lid, etc.
If you don't have a sealed container, put in a container and put in paper towels or newspaper to kind of soak the grease up. Make sure you double bag it. You don't want it all over your can and you don't want (ugh!) maggots. Personally, I'd keep it in the fridge and dispose of it the night before garbage pick up. That way you'll be sure to avoid the maggots.How do you discard of cooking oil (2 Liters) that was used for frying chicken?
Cooled add some cat litter to a plastic bag inside a cardboard box and dump it there, your can pour it into you garden it is biodegradable, never pour it down the sink or toilet it will solidify or clog the outside pipes and the sewage could backup into your house, most likely when your out, some city's have pick up and they clean it and use it for bio-diesel production, or find a restaurant and ask if you can leave with there's.
if it is any kind of oil, it will not harden. i always put it back in the original container,seal tightly and discard. if i don't have the original, i pull an oj or milk gallon out of the recycle bin.
Use a old coffee container, or a 2-liter bottle used for soda than just discard with trash.
Or use a lg trash bag, check for holes!
pour it down the toilet while flushing.
u could put it in something seal-able like soda bottles and throw it away

How can i scrub off cooking oil stains from a hotplate undercover?
recommend an inexpensive cleaner please? am on a budget but i need to get this apartment truly sterling to get my deposit backHow can i scrub off cooking oil stains from a hotplate undercover?
If they are removable then buy replacements. They're not that expensive and can save you a lot of hassle.
Try no fume oven cleaner or Dawn Power Dissolver (probably will require more scrubbing)How can i scrub off cooking oil stains from a hotplate undercover?
lol. I know what you mean. Go to safeway and the stove cleaner is the best to get. It attacks the skum very well, Now the key is not to apply and then wipe. Apply the cleaner and let it go to work a good 10 minutes or so. Overnight is best. By time you go back to it, the skum pills off like butter. Good Luck!!
If you are looking for cheap the best thing is an SOS pad the kind that has soap and elbow grease.
There is some stuff called grease be gone that retails around 4-6 dollars and you get let it soak a bit but I found that I still need to scrub.
Cut a lemon in half. Rub the bottom of the pan with lemon and salt. It will remove all that greasy buildup.
i'd toss them and buy new ones at walmart. they only cost a few bucks and you'll save HOURS and HOURS of scrubbing the old ones.
go price them at walmart--seriously. they will look BRAND NEW and save you a TON of time and elbow grease!
try spraying it with oven cleaner and letting it set 20 minutes or so. It should loosen the oil where it will be easily wiped up. Good Luck!
I would try spraying on a bit of oven cleaner and letting it soak.
i would use dawn dishsoap or ovencleaner

What cooking oil is used by fast food chains such as McDonald's, Jack In The Box and Kentucky Fried Chicken?
How come they don't taste like regular veggie oil?What cooking oil is used by fast food chains such as McDonald's, Jack In The Box and Kentucky Fried Chicken?
Most use Fry Max.
Others just use Canola.
The reason it doesn't taste like the oil your using home is because they have fried different things in the oil and the oil has been used several times before it's changed.
Freshness is what makes your oil taste different.
You use it once and toss.
Not so with chains.What cooking oil is used by fast food chains such as McDonald's, Jack In The Box and Kentucky Fried Chicken?
most places i have worked at used canola, because of its long loif
