To frighten y'all even more, after trashing the 240D (2 to 1 odds in the next two months), I plan on running a 560 SEL on gasogen, building a waste oil heater (http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_motherearth/me4.html#mwoh) and making a biogas digester to fuel my gas log.
Looked at a diesel generator tonight too...screw the grid. You know people are running HOME fuel oil furnaces on veggie oil (but probably not pig fat or gear lube)...endless possibilities BTW, who on the list does oil analysis? I'd like to have the a-l sauce tested for sulphur content, seriously. God Bless, enjoy the weekend.
