    Exactly. Friend of mine makes his rounds to the local restauranrs for his free fuel. Takes it home, does a little filtering and he’s ready to go.

  2. Used vegetable oil …
    Used vegetable oil is better than biodiesel because biodiesel needs to be grown as a crop which uses up valuable agricultural land and costs more to produce. Used vegetable oil is a waste product that would otherwise be thrown away.

  6. I will never give …
    I will never give up the fight to legalize hemp. There would be no real America with out hemp. In fact, only the native American Indians would be here with out hemp. In fact, there would be no recorded history with out hemp. Hemp is no Marijuana, this fact which is not well known by most people, is the problem. People are ignorant in America, I don’t think you should wave an American Flag unless you know this nations history, the true history, of which HEMP not cannabis, was an integral part.

  11. The Methanol in the …
    The Methanol in the Biodiesel is airplane/race car fuel and also found in a bottle of HEAT Dry gas so no; it will not gel

  12. Biodiesel is not …
    Biodiesel is not straight vegetable oil; it is a mixture of vegetable oil and methanol.
    If you listen at 2:35 you will hear that the Biodiesel pump is B20 meaning only 20% of the fuel is Biodiesel and the other 80% is regular diesel fuel.

    With an extra fuel tank and conversion you can switch between diesel and vegetable oil once the oil is up to temperature.

  17. My other concern …
    My other concern would be whether or not a biodiesel car can run in cold weather since vegetable oil freezes like jelly. I wonder if antifreeze could be added to avoid that problem?

  22. Americans, such a …
    Americans, such a wast my car will easy do 54MPG combined, on petrol and 60MPG+ on autogas

  23. its such an …
    its such an pain when you see people write bullshit on grease cars just to keep people dependent on government for transportation and their societal slavery inducing price hyper-inflation. Getting rid of all politcians all togurther would abolish wallstreet and the monetary slave circus as a hole.

  24. i really think that …
    i really think that a turbo injected v6 HYBRID powered mustang, comaro, and challenger would sell and still be cool. i also think it would convinse people to buy hybrids and AMERICAN muscle cars. think about it. right now the only big hybrid automakers out their are toyota and ford. and the big selling model is the prius. now if so many people are buying a car that look dino-shit just because it has 65 or so mpg, think about how many people would buy the mustang and so forth.
