How does the Exchange work?

Browse through the listed offers and requests for used vegetable oil. Registered Exchange members may contact the Lister through our website.

All exchanges must be free of charge.

What's special about used vegetable oil?

Often considered a waste material, straight vegetable oil (SVO) and waste vegetable oil can be used as an alternate fuel in a properly modified diesel engine.

The US Environmental Protection Agency does not recognize SVO or WVO as an approved fuel. Vegetable Oil Exchange members should do their own research to determine whether using vegetable oil as fuel is right for them.
