You know I'm a sucker for the side-boob thing...
It's not really so much virtue signaling as it is cost and tax avoidance... smart move though
ReplyDeleteBack when the hay farm was still running the guy I had running the operation was getting the grease from the fried chicken place his daughter worked at. He was making biodiesel out of it and running it in our 05 GMC 3500 Dirtymax. Fuel for 70 cents per gallon helped our profits. The fuel system on the Dirtymax was not sensitive to dirty fuel. That truck always smelled like fried chicken. It was a Katrina relief truck I got for a great price. It had been driven through brackish water and had rust issues when it was 10 years old. When it was 16 years old the frame broke when it was being lifted for a new set of tires. It had 363k on the clock with one rebuilt transmission and an engine that was burning/leaking a quart of oil every thousand miles. The injector pump had been rebuilt and was stating to get noisy again. It ended up at the junk yard to get parted out.
ReplyDeleteMy 16 Ford Powerstroke's weak link is the sensitivity to fuel that is not very clean. If it get contamination it is a $10k repair bill. There is no way I would run home brew bio-diesel in it. My next door neighbor has a 85 Mercedes 300TD that has been modified to run on vegetable oil. He is an engineer and bought the car to see if he could modify it to run off vegetable oil 20 years ago when the car had 140k on it. He has 2 fast food places that gives him oil. After the fuel modification he updated the interior and then the suspension. It has over 330k on it and it looks like it has only been a couple of years since it was in the dealer showroom. He gets 40 MPG.
Did that on a 2003 Dodge Ram 5.9 for over 300K miles. NO issues as long as you changed the filters.
