Hello Peace Seekers,
We bought a diesel automobile this week. A 2002 VW Bug. We are converting it to run on used veggie oil. I work with a group that collects the oil from local restaurants and filters it. The whole conversion takes less than $500.00 and we are free from the oil industry. At least a little:)
This project is really picking up steam. I have spread the word to hundreds about bio diesel and the message is spurring action. I would love to spread the know how to many of you. If you have any questions or would like to know more about the process let me know.
Peace,
Joshua Peace Seeker
I got myself a MB 300TD diesel recently. From my research this car's 5 cylinder diesel engine is one of the best for running on biodiesel which is why I selected this model. I am getting biodiesel at the local BP (the people at the counter can't tell me anything about it). I hope to start making my own fuel to mix soon. At any rate, this '84 MB 300TD wagon is getting 26+ mpg which is nearly double what my V8 truck was getting.
The next step is to condition myself for a bike and bike-trailer.

It is not hard to take the next step and go to a Straight Veggie Oil system. You would not be dependant on any station then. You could pick up used oil from your local restaurants and filter it in your garage.
