I'm in an area of New York where it gets down to 30 below F. Many fuel-oil tanks are outdoors and usually do fine as long as they have kerosene added along with some sort of anti-gel e.g. Power Service. Most areas around here do not have natural gas available - and propane has such low energy - it's pretty much a waste of money. But -that depends on whatever prices you are paying where you live.
In regard to using used deep-fry oil - it's less than a drop in the bucket. I've done it off and on for close to 40 years as have many others. And - I'm not an old hippie (although I did go to Woodstock to chase the hippie girls). The smart people used to keep their mouths shut about it. Now - people new to it seem inclined to start clubs, brag to the newspapers, etc. Subsequently a good thing has been just about ruined.
In regard to the law - there is a Federal exemption up to a certain amount of gallons that can be tax-free for home-made fuel. But - some states require their own tax and are militant about it.
With the question of companies producing it in high volumes? Total waste of time and money.
