<HTML>The whole look at kalina cycle,started with me wanting to get a project to help pay for my steam project.
In recent months pizza delivery drivers were facing ,a back against the wall expense ....as if delivery paid very well in the first
So,step one in my sales approach died before it started by mentioning diesels doing pizza delivery.
Same old critics "saw", about why a young guy wouldn't drive a diesel Benz.
Smelly,slow,etc....
$5.00 a dollars/day rent to own for a year didn't appeal to them.
(delivery drivers don't have credit usually)
Some were even insulted at the mention of diesel....
Started tinkering around with WVO from every restaurant in town.
Step two got their attention,but you have to run as a driver COOP...
None of the pizza franchise guys will be caught dead with a WVO diesel.
In the business approval sense to help the drivers out.
To cover the expenses,made same offer of 5dollars/day rent to own for a year(diesel car prices have increased so much in the past 18 months,may need to increase soon.)
plus .75 a gallon for the fuel.Granted I am doing more work on diesels than steam at time .But if that is what it takes to pay for the steam projects so be it.
Any rate,was looking at the rate that the resturant grease was drying up with drivers from 4 pizza companies using my stuff.
Sometimes gets odd looks ,as three company rivals, have drivers roll into Dominos parking lot on emergency refill.(General manager and owner ...ok as long as we don't make a sence about it. Just fill up from the refining trailer out back and quietly leave.)(Didn't hurt to rent a trailer space beside dumpster.)
And kalina looked like a way to ease the supply shortage by improving the mileage on a gallon of grease.WVO pick-up trailer is running far and far as the idea catches on....
In the back of your mind ,was wondering if that would make them half a steam member.</HTML>
