Re: Special Biodiesel Deal

Jeff- I have a number of cubies of ADM semi-hydrogenated fryer oil that I
collected for the co-op but never got around to delivering.  Are you
interested in them?  Would you be willing to trade for finished fuel?

Just curious, I'd like to get them out of my garage at some point. :)

Thanks,

Tad
