Looks like this stuff is catching on...at least for some people.

No one gives a rip?

Well, how about a hydrogen boost system for your average vehicle?

There are some really cool things coming out these days.

SW,

We give a rip...no worries, just how many of us have Diesel vehicles? Ok, I did..and if I had one today I would convert.

Mythbusters tested this "theory" on one of their episodes. No problem, it seems. Just getting that used oil (if you took that route) clean would be the issue, not to mention the time to fetch it and what not.

I'm all for the change...via the soys!

!shoosh,

Ryst

This is nothing new. Rudolph Diesel invented the diesel to run on biodegradables. In fact, the first diesel engine was designed to run on peanut oil, which it did in the 1898 World's Fair.

"Rudolph Diesel (1858-1913) unveiled his compression engine at the 1898 Exhibition Fair in Paris. There, amid the grandeur of the world's fair, the talk was not only of the engine's impressive 75-percent efficiency rating (compared to the steam engine's 12 percent and the gasoline engine's 25 percent), but of the fact that it ran on plain old peanut oil."

Many believe Diesel was thrown overboard and drowned in the English Channel in 1913.

It was the oil companies that prevented the diesel from running on non-petroleum products.

The technology is not new, but what's seems new is that more people are finding out how easy it is and are using it.
