Hi, I'm just beginner in making alternative fuels. just few days ago made my first bucket of biodiesel. It wasn't so difficult, but here, in Lithuania, it's difficult and expensive to get high proof alcohol for it (esspecialy in big quantities). so intending to run a diesel car on straight WVO. just bought a diesel car speccialy for this project its Mitsubishi Galant turbodiesel. but today I read a messadge from biofuel@egroups.com that turbodiesel is not good for running on WVO. is that's right? if so what could I do with my already owned turbodiesel???

Don't try it with a turbo diesel, though! It clogs everything up, and in any case you need to clean your injectors much more often than with plain "derv". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wish you had something rad to add to your email?
