Convert your diesel engine to used vegetable oil
I just saw this on CNN. You can convert exsisting diesel engines to used vegetable oil, for example from a deep fryer. |thumb

yup vegetable oil burning engines kick ass. I had an old 86 ford f250 that I always wanted to convert over to run on waste grease. Unfortunately the truck died before I got around too it.
The diesel engine was origionally designed to run on peanut oil I have heard. One day I will get another deisel and convert it over. Just gotta figure out how to strain the chicken bones out of the grease ;) |
Biodiesel has been around a while: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel
If I ever got a car, I'd consider converting a (newer model) VW or a just going with a hybrid Civic. But for now, I'm happy to be waiting on my new custom-made bike that's going to cost me more than a used car. :) |
If hemp were legal we'd have an alternative to oil. Aaaah in a perfect world....
|
I just seen this on my local news Friday morning. They interviewed two local guys who converted their cars over. One guy has a pump and he goes around to restaurant grease dumpsters and pumps out their old grease LOL.. I think it's a great idea. I heard it cost about $850 for the kit.

Hah
My uncle runs his farm equipment and powers his house on vegetable oil. and it works very well! |
That's great news...
Hope that alternatives to Petrol Fuels start to grow... we could really use cheaper and cleaner fuels... :D or course that in my country that whould probably appear in year 2200 lol.... |

http://www.biodieselnow.com/ http://www.greasecar.com/ There used to be an RV that went around the country demonstrating the process of Fryer grease from McDonalds to biodiesel, but, I cannot find the link right now. I thought it was veggievan.org, but, that redirects to another site. |
