OT BioDiesel

im also working on it, with a little help from a few already doing it at

several have 25,000+ miles on used vegetable oil. im in the process of rounding up everything i need to do the same thing.

......i wonder how long its going to take the government to make it a felony since there is no highway tax on leftover restaurant oils.

You could use wolf grease. ;^)

Oh good.. now my fuel lines will need stints. :/

When I got back from Spain, I threw out all the canola oil (real name "rapeseed oil") and soybean oil (yuck), replacing it with sunflower oil and olive oil. Those people know how to eat. They call fried potatoes "papas fritas" too, which means "fried potatoes" in the local language. It's just a "potato". Now a French kiss, will always be a French kiss...

I dunno.. the chemistry side of that is sound and diesel engines are (or at least were) designed to run on sludge that gas engines couldn't burn. Too bad I can't refine the 20 or so gallons of used motor oil I've got out back into gas. (reminds self to haul it down to the recycling yard)

If I had an old diesel rabbit or some such smogbomb it would be fun to try but not in a nice new engine.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I appreciate it.

I'm going to try it in one of my tractors before it goes in the Powerstroke or the Cat. It may not go into the Cat anyway.

Not sure if you're accurate on that, but even so, bio-diesel takes something that normally would be thrown away and gets some use out of it...

I test drove the VW Jetta TDI (diesel) today that I'm thinking of getting to replace Grace's WJ... Acceptable accelleration... It actually felt like it had more elbow room than the WJ... The Tiptronic shift make an automatic nearly bearable... From what I hear, people are reporting around 48 mpg on the highway with it... Yeah, it's not a Jeep, but maybe she won't roll it either...

Now, if I could just get something to run on used beer.
