fungi x- its not bio diesel, bio-d is made from grease, and can be run in a car without a converstion...
leary- the lack of grease can be a problem, even when you find a good source its almost impossible to get permission to take it (which they technically cant give...) and stealing it is a bitch. The thing is once the grease is in the drease dumpster, its technically the property of the rendering company....
conrade- yes i spliced off of the heater core lines for the heated tank lines.
ben rules, - yes i probably could run it off of canabis seed oil
poke smot, yeah there is lots of CO from it. and the exhauset actually smells nice like whatever waws cooked in the oil. as for the co, its a closed carbon cycle. which means that im not putting out any more carbon into the atmosphere than the plant took from the atmosphere to grow.
theres barely any change in power output on the engine, although you can feel a little drop in power on the veg in high speeds.
this is un like gas where were burning stored carbon from millions of years ago.

If I am not mistaken, any diesel engine can be converted.

So, you are saying that petro oil production is going to outlive agriculture? Sure about that?
What am I going to do? I do not drive nor do I have any interest in driving - I am a bicyclist.

This doesnt make any sense to me. It is not an intelligent statement.

>> VEGITABLE OIL

Whenever you drive by people will think of french fries 
No seriously, that's great man! I'm wondering what kind of fuel oil you will use and more importantly: how much does it cost?
Here in Holland some supermarket-bought vegetable oil already is cheaper than diesel fuel.
The difference is this:
BIODIESEL is a combination of one molecule of fatty acid + one molecule of ethyl alcohol (bio ethanol ofcourse) CH3CH2-OOC-R It is lighter and can be used neat in normal diesel engines.
VEGGIE OIL is a combination of three molecules of fatty acid with one molecule of glycerin. CH2-OOC-R \ CH-OOC-R / CH2-OOC-R It is heavier and needs conversion.
There also is a method of turning organic waste into gasoline (the real deal, but based on carbon-cycle carbon, thus eco-neutral) And then there is bio-ethanol, which I have good hopes for.
Basically you can grow a plant, use the oil to make biodiesel and its "straw" can be processed into green gasoline or bio-ethanol

If the timing belt was one of the belts that came loose, then yes... that would affect the timing. If it wasn't then the timing wouldn't be fucked up by that.

fuck yeah 
hey zippoz, where and how did you learn to make the installments in order to convert the car? if you don't have any time to write it down, you can also show me where to go, so I can research it out . you fuckin rock! keep it up
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.
