    This particular bus is fueled primarily on waste vegetable oil gathered from restaurants. These places typically don’t mind to have this material taken from them because they have to pay to have it removed. The bus can hold up to 200 gallons of vegetable oil and travel up to 1500 miles. This is about the same or more than regular diesel, which is used to warm the engine to the correct heat at which point they switch the vegetable oil with the flick of an internal switch on the bus.
