Try Biodiesel. Learn to Go on WVO

Biodiesel and Waste Vegetable Oil Are Sustainable, Less-polluting Alternatives to Diesel

Does your car or truck have a diesel engine? How about your tractor? If so, consider using biodiesel to fuel your vehicle. It's often cheaper, it may earn you a tax credit, and it's better for the environment. Here are some other reasons you might want to try biodiesel:

*Engine wear. Driving on biodiesel produces less wear and tear on your engine. Because of the way it lubricates the parts, engine wear is reduced by as much as one half.

*Engine performance. Biodiesel makes your car or truck (or tractor) run smoother, quieter and with less smoke.

*Emissions. Biodiesel produces fewer emissions than regular diesel, and so make less of a contribution to global warming.

*US economy. Since biodiesel is made in the US, using it keeps US money in the US. It also helps rural economies, and helps create jobs.

*US security. Because biodiesel is made in the US, using it reduces our dependence on foreign oil.

*It's sustainable. Unlike petroleum diesel and other fossil fuels, we aren't likely to run out of biodiesel. And because its based on vegetable oil, it's less polluting to the environment.

You may also want to consider WVO or Waste Vegetable Oil, an energy efficient, sustainable, cheaper alternative to diesel fuel. It's has long been known that filtered waste vegetable oil and straight vegetable oil (SVO) can be used to fuel diesel engines. Compared to biodiesel, WVO requires less processing and only minimal filtering (a blue jeans pant leg will work just fine) before use in your engine. On the other hand, biodiesel requires no engine conversion.

Many of the reasons for using WVO are the same as for using biodiesel. With a simple conversion, any diesel engine can run on WVO or SVO (or on biodiesel, with no conversion). Think of your truck, your tractor, your car. With so many restaurants willing to literally give away WVO (or even pay you to take it away), how can you go wrong? Here's how you can get started:
