How much is he paying?
If he is buying it is he a dealer and as such needs a waste carriers licence?
Is he supplying a waste disposal note?
My mate has it well set up he supplies the containers cleraly labeled ( conforming to regs) he also supplies a file and all the waste disposal notes, emergency contacts etc, he still gets it for free as he has never let one of his suppliers down

This is interesting for me as I am thinking about buying some waste veg oil. I am a little cautious as I don't want to damage Bongo but I do know the previous owner did it. Also I want to know it is from a reliable source and not dodgy oil etc. I see some people are selling it on Ebay and I am guessing some will be ok and some not so good. Oh and the size of container is a slight worry too as they may be too heavy for me to pour at 20ltrs. Any advice gratefully received. Bongo is going in for a full service soon so will not do anything until I know all is well in that department.

Some of that stuff on Ebay is rubbish :twisted: One bloke was selling it for 70p a litre and you can see all the rubbish settled in the containers - you'd be lucky to get 12 litres from each container, making it nearly as expensive as diesel :twisted:

I pay 70p per litre. It comes pre filtered and watered, and so no waste and compared to other stuff I used to get at 50p it ,much better value.

I get some free stuff so on balance seems OK
