Diesel Fuel Alternative

This may appear elsewhere, but here is a note worthy news article released by CNN dealing with using vegetable oil as a fuel for a diesel powered RV.

There are many diesel owners refining used cooking oil around where I live. So many in fact, that restaurants are now selling it instead of paying for removal.
One Escapee member carries a refinery on his HDT, collects used cooking oil when available/needed, refines it, then transfers it into the fuel tanks. He even runs the refinery in RV parks occasionally, and no-one notices.(His story, not mine)

Purified veggie oil, and a fuel tank or line heater heater does have good results. You can use a solenoid to start on diesel, then switch to the veggie oil once started. I have converted several diesel motor homes. I presently use used cooking oil, sodium hydroxide, and methanol to convert to BIO Diesel. I run the BIO 100 % in all my vehicles, when temperatures are above 35 degrees. We have a network of friends RVing making this BIO. We trade out fuels as we travel. Just recently I have discovered many other benefits by adding this product to gas engines. There is no conversion process to run a vehicle on Bio.
