BioDiesel: How sweet is this? Corn Oil sweet my friend.
BioDiesel getting Bipartisan support here in WA. KOMO news | State Senators Have Different Idea For Battling High Fuel Costs
I recently purchased a 1977 Mercedes 300D just so that I could run BioDiesel. So far it has been painless getting off the Petro teet. The car has 178K and had only run Dino Diesel. I drove it over to Dr Dan's in Ballard he told me to run 3 tanks of B100 (100% BioDiesel) and then he'd replace the fuel filter and lines. This is because BioDiesel actually *CLEANS* the petro Diesel carbon out of the engine.
That's it. No conversion, no fuss. (I'm on my 5th tank -- need to get over there soon, but the car is running great!)
All sorts of great reasons to go Bio. Less than half the carbon and hydrocarbon emissions, higher viscosity, higher BTU than Dino Diesel. Of course minimal reliance on the petroleum industry, greater reliance on local farmers and producers. And if you are in a pinch and can't find Bio, you can run Dino… or better yet throw a $1000 converter & tank in the car and just pull up behind McDonalds to fill up on waste vegetable oil!
But the best part is... every time you fill the car you can send the message to Cheney, Carlyle and Company to go fuck themselves.
