still better than 3 bucks a gallon though, no?
plus the advantage of everyone being able to smell you coming
I've run about two tanks of pure vegetable oil through so far. The engine
runs quieter (vegetable oil has better lubricity that dino diesel) and it
starts much more quickly than it used to. My theory about that is the
solvent qualities of the vegetable oil have cleaned out the injectors.

Costs are not insignificant. Pumps, motors, filters, storage
containers, hydraulic couplings, tubing, all add up. Not to mention
what you have to do to your car.

i've actually run the same experiment on my 81 TD
ran nicely for about 5 miles, albeit it smelled funny.
turns out veggie acts as kind of a solvent and does a nice job of bringing
all the algae and such into the fuel system.
about 15 inline filters later, all was well

Well, they had it lik in a 2 liter bottle hanging above the hood as I
recall, but yeah, pretty anticlimactic, it just worked.
The only thing that made me a bit worried was they ended it with: "Yeah, you
can just run your diesel on straight vegetable oil without a problem"
Umm... sure, depending
I missed that one.
Must have been pretty anti climactic. What did they do, pour it in and
watch it run?

How did that work out?
Did they just fill the tank and go?
Did the car show any distress?

It generated roughly 160 db @ 15hz. It blew the sunroof out a bit, but
