Title: BIO-DIESEL a Gas Alternative Post by: Asphaltdragon on September 02, 2005, 10:05:23 AM I happened to be watching a program this morning that featured a guy who makes what's called Biodiesel. So what I was joking about yesterday is actually possible. He used new or used vegetable oil to make a fuel that can be burned in a diesel engine! For less that a $1 per gallon.
I think I should go find a nice used diesel car or truck and start experimenting 8) Do a google search on biodiesel Title: Re: BIO-DIESEL Post by: kawGIRL on September 02, 2005, 10:12:51 AM This is true..I posted about this last month in the fuel disscussions.
http://www.dancingrabbit.org/biodiesel/ There is a place close to our property in NC that makes it ;) As soon as I get a spare moment on one of our trips I want to check it out, they have it set up so you can watch the process.

Smells like peanuts or popcorn. ;)
