How to run a car on vegetable oil

(Credit: Greasecar)

Greasecar has a product it calls the Vegetable Oil Conversion System, which can convert your diesel car or truck to run on vegetable oil in any climate. It's a DIY kit, so this certainly isn't for people who don't know a spark plug from a fan belt.

Different vehicles have different types of kits, with prices varying from $995 for a 13-gallon cylinder tank to $2,350 for a 40-gallon tread plate tank. If you're game, you need to find out whether your vehicle model is available for this kind of modification. We'll also throw in a disclaimer here that you do this at your own risk and depending on the laws of your country.

Eh you don't need to know a spark plug from a fan belt, diesels don't use spark plugs :)

Sparkplug..diesel..that's funny..

With an article title like this one would have like to see a more informational article on how it works rather than a short uninformative sales pitch to buy one....might also be more convincing to get the potential buyer to click on the webstie...

And don't forget to pay the gax tax, as it is legally required for federal and state (in the US)... yeah, gotta love the encouragement of alternate fuels and being eco friendly!

What I want to know is if they can create a DIY Kit, why don't auto manufacturer's starting making cars with these engines. Sure, it's not a Hybrid; but, it's better that regular Petrol Fuel!
