Many people do not realize bio diesel has been around since the turn of the 20th-century. It is nothing new in fact at the 1900 Paris World Exposition Rudolf Diesel, yes there is a man named Diesel, showed off his diesel engine, which ran on Peanut Oil. But other diesel engines have run off many other types of oils like; vegetable oil, French fry grease and chicken fat. Willie Nelson the famous country singer tours the country in his Bus, which runs all on bio diesel and cooking oil. Pretty cool indeed. Since diesel motors run off compression any liquid that explodes when compressed will run the diesel motor of course some fuels work a whole lot better than others. And if you drive down the road and smell like you are a French Fry you are liable to get pulled over by a McDonald's lover or a police officer asking you what to deal is. Apparently a motorcyclist or a convertible traveling behind you will probably pull off at the nearest fast food restaurant because you make them hungry. But if you want to save cost in fuel and you have the proper filters you can go behind a fast food restaurant and collect the cooking oil grease out of their special dumpster. I suppose it saves them money from having to haul it away and you have free fuel. With the one caveat you will smell like a French Fry while cruising around town. But like the peanut oil it is an option to the higher fuel prices. Please consider this in 2006. |
