Make Mine a Grease Car

By the Care2 Staff.
If you have a diesel car, you can convert it to one that runs entirely on leftover vegetable oil that would otherwise be thrown away by your friendly neighborhood greasy spoon. Even non-diesel cars can be converted to run on biodiesel-spiked fuel. Clean-burning and non-polluting, biodiesel fuel may be the wave of the future.

I'd never tried using biofuel ever since to my ford mustang cars (ford mustang parts), but got heard it was too cheaper and very economical. I would like converting mine to it. that's very interesting!

My wife and I have been using biofuel for 2 years, now from a company called Biofuelbasics.com and pay only 45 cents per gallon.

I converted my vehicle to run on grease. I bought an old F-250 pickup truck for just that purpose. Sure, a big pickup truck is usually considered about as green Halliburton; but, even though it burns a lot of fuel, none of that contributes to greenhouse gases. ( I'm also looking at doing a similar thing with an older Mercedes-Benz).
I burns waste vegetable oil, which I get from restaurants in town. I filter out the french fry bits and put it in the tank.
Jennifer (and anybody else), you don't need to convert anything on a diesel vehicle to use biodiesel- you can put biodiesel directly into the tank, and run on it. The engines love it.
Vegetable oil is different from biodiesel, and using that does require that you convert your fuel system. That's what I have done. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil, but its not the same thing.
If you have a diesel vehicle, like a Volkswagon TDI, a Mercedes, or a and would like to use biodiesel, I recommend first to find out if there is a retail station near you that sells it.
Here's a webpage to find that out.

My husband and I have been saving to get our vehicles converted and to buy a home biodiesel production kit. We are very excited.
