150mpg from a hybrid is rubbish – i get 50+mpg from a turbo diesel car in the town and 72mpg on the motorway at 70mph. Biodiesel will eat through rubber seals and not provide enough lubrication to the pumps and injectors. Never use vege oil unless filtered and the acidity is adjusted, it kills your car!

2Biodiesel can be made from used vegetable oil so they come from the same place really. You just need to make some conversions to the vegetable oil before running it in a diesel car.

3Exactly. Friend of mine makes his rounds to the local restauranrs for his free fuel. Takes it home, does a little filtering and he’s ready to go.

4Used vegetable oil is better than biodiesel because biodiesel needs to be grown as a crop which uses up valuable agricultural land and costs more to produce. Used vegetable oil is a waste product that would otherwise be thrown away.

8I will never give up the fight to legalize hemp. There would be no real America with out hemp. In fact, only the native American Indians would be here with out hemp. In fact, there would be no recorded history with out hemp. Hemp is no Marijuana, this fact which is not well known by most people, is the problem. People are ignorant in America, I don’t think you should wave an American Flag unless you know this nations history, the true history, of which HEMP not cannabis, was an integral part.

9if its legalized in us but rumer is that pot is mexico cash crop. wich explains why us dont legalize and tax like cigaretts which kills more people than all illicet drugs plus prescription drugs car wrecks all wars and alcohol and suicides put together. so forget about legl hemp even though it was grown by farmers for hemp rope used to more ships till nylon rope was invented now sailers get cut in half when a nylon rope breaks from the salt water causes it to rot inside out hemp dont rot.

13The Methanol in the Biodiesel is airplane/race car fuel and also found in a bottle of HEAT Dry gas so no; it will not gel

14Biodiesel is not straight vegetable oil; it is a mixture of vegetable oil and methanol.
If you listen at 2:35 you will hear that the Biodiesel pump is B20 meaning only 20% of the fuel is Biodiesel and the other 80% is regular diesel fuel.
With an extra fuel tank and conversion you can switch between diesel and vegetable oil once the oil is up to temperature.

19My other concern would be whether or not a biodiesel car can run in cold weather since vegetable oil freezes like jelly. I wonder if antifreeze could be added to avoid that problem?

20easy to convert I have been running cars for years here in the uk with waste veg oil .Just make sure the car has a BOSCH injector pump NOt a LUCAS/CAV

21I would like to buy a car that runs on biodiesel fuel. 50 miles per gallon? You can’t go wrong-and especially with the gas prices here in New York.

25its such an ass pain when you see people write bullshit on grease cars just to keep people dependent on government for transportation and their societal slavery inducing price hyper-inflation. Getting rid of all politcians all togurther would abolish wallstreet and the monetary slave circus as a hole.
