Man's F-250 pickup truck runs on cooking oil?

Kienan Corbus drives a big truck, but he doesn't have big gas bills.

His Ford F-250 pickup is powered by used cooking oil. He calls it "straight veg." Corbus collects the old fry oil from restaurants in Alaska and processes it to power his truck.

He operates a small business plowing snow and hauling with his truck. Corbus uses his Earth-friendly fuel as a selling point to customers.

He told the Anchorage Daily News he's just trying to turn vegetable oil into money. His truck smells a little like french fries when it's running. He said dogs like to lick it. Article here.
