You're correct about this. There are companies that specialize in this.

The word "fried" is an adjective that is used to describe a noun, such as
"chicken". The word "fryer" is a noun that is the name of a piece of
equipment, such as "deep fryer".

Ahhhhh! Thank you Wayne! Now I understand ! Fryer is a substantive, OK!
But...now that I think...why a substantive has different grammatichal rules
in comparison with an adjective?

Google on bio-diesel for more information.

Those TV stories have the accuracy of most TV stories. I like the way
they describe someone driving up to the fast food place and simply
filling up with waste fryer oil as if they pulled into a filling
station. The reality is that there is considerable processing involved
to remove undesirable stuff before the oil can be used in a diesel engine.

Substantive? Boy, I had to dig out my dusty old Harbrace for that
one.

A chicken itself, can be called a "fryer," too.

Quick defintion:
noun: flesh of a medium-sized young chicken suitable for frying

The TV story I saw did show the processing involved.

I've read some stuff about it. Most of the time people go through a
processing step to make bio-diesel fuel. However, some guys say that
once the car's up and running at temp they can switch to burning
unprocessed oil (I'm sure they filter it) directly.

It's not wrong, but is less right. As long as you don't write "friar",
that's something else altogether.

But it was in your enciclopedy! I would only know if I can write *frier*
without making a grammatical mistake.

Well, not mine personally.

Sure. Like I said, "friar" is a different thing all-together.
