I can’t seem to find much UK sites about this. So wake up guys, get your generators and vans running on plant-oil and leave the smell of fries behind you in stead of destruction ; )

If anyone do knows a uk site, please let me know!! For once the germans are doing way better than the english. Thousands of cars/vans/tracktors already running on plant-oil overthere.

Sorry for my ignorance. But how much plant oil can we make? Is it enough to run most things? Or are we limited? How easy is it to convert an engine??

Plus, it’ll never happen over here unfortunately. What will they tax then?!?! Bottles of vegie oil will cost £20 a go!

I have found more info…

This site covers cost. Kits look to be a few hundred quid, for a car at least.

Nice one. Cheers.

Very interesting stuff. Surely the governemnt will somehow put a stop to it though. Think of the taxes they will loose!! Outrageous!

ive always been intruiged by this sort of stuff
found an interesting link about biodiesel
although its an American site,theres still some useful info

On a slightly off topic note…did anyone see the veggie oil fueled Beetle on the recent C4 Scapheap Challenge series?…it did rather well overall,without much(if any)drop in performance
