Has anyone had experience or know of anything about running semi tractors with 
the big 400 to 600 hp Cat, Detroit, or Cummins engines on bio diesel or SVO.  
Would they be any different than running a car diesel engine on bio or SVO?  I 
only ask because it seems that semi tractors consume LARGE amounts of fuel per 
year.  I have a friend that drives truck long haul and he is happy and brags 
about getting 5.7 MPG, and he runs 150K miles plus per year.  Thats over 26,000 
gallons of dirty, polluting diesel a year.  And he's only one rig...and theres 
how many thousands of big rigs on the road.
 
It would seem to make sense if those thousands of big engines can be run on bio 
or SVO it should be done...something that is cleaner and can be home grown in 
USA, instead of having to import everything from Mid East.
 
Any thoughts, comments, or experiences would be nice.
 
Thanks
Brett
