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 Do a google search on biodiesel

On that dancing rabbit webite it says a diesel can run on straight vegitable oil after it reaches a temperature of 160 degrees

Bio-Diesel is a hit in the north east, My brother car runs on diesel and when he was in Boston he got some. Smells like peanuts or popcorn.
