rick your history is a bit off. actually diesel was employed by the krupp family to develope an engine to run on coal dust. this of course was a failure and he was fired but the diesel engine was born from that effort. the krupp family was heavily invested in coal at the time. steve it comes as a surprise to many that dr. diesel did not start out to invent an engine to run on diesel fuel but run more efficiently on gasoline. after he and several co-workers were injured in a gasoline explosion in his lab he switched to vegetable oil. the diesel engine was commercially introduced at the paris worlds fair in 1900 running on pure peanut oil. as long as you have a supply of used oil youre in the conservation business. when you run out of discarded oil it will cost you about 2500 btus in petroleum fuels to grow and distribute 1000 btus in vegetable fuels. theres nothing new under the sun. we didnt drill our first oil well until we ran out of whales! rick nerdrevenge wrote by blair goldstein www.advance.com june 24 2005 its a simple recipe mix 10 gallons of vegetable oil with 10 gallons of diesel fuel. bobby tabor has been feeding the unusual mixture to his 1987 cream-colored mercedes benz for almost a week. it fuels his car on the 60-mile commute between his home in appomattox and his car technician job at mb euro service on boonsboro road in lynchburg. theres just one problem though - the smell. i dont notice any difference in the power or performance of the car tabor said. you do get an odor out of the tailpipe and it smells just like it does outside of a mcdonalds. its that charcoaled grill odor. mark barker owner of mb euro service said he didnt know about bobs experiment when he pulled into work monday but he smelled the change. when bobby comes to work we all get hungry barker said. we have to make a breakfast run. tabor said he has been talking to his brother who works in the heating and air conditioning business for almost five years about powering a car with vegetable oil. about three weeks ago they started their experiment. they get used vegetable oil for free from friends working at local restaurants. tabor said the free oil is the only way it is economical for him to use vegetable oil in his car. youre looking at spending $20 to $25 a week on fuel instead of $40 to $45 tabor said. you put $20 in your pocket. vegetable oil can only be used as fuel in some diesel engines. however tabor said he did not have to modify his car at all. in fact tabor said his car would run on pure vegetable oil as long as the temperature of the liquid remains above 160 degrees. the high temperature keeps the liquid thin and ensures that the oil will not congeal. tabor said he keeps his fuel thin by diluting the vegetable oil with diesel fuel. while it is unusual for a car to be driving the highway on vegetable oil it is part of a growing product line of biofuels. biofuels are fuels made from recently living organisms such as potatoes sugar cane and wheat. in an effort to encourage the production of alternative fuels congress is considering a bill that would extend tax incentives for the production of biodiesel a fuel made largely from soybeans. the virginia department of environmental quality estimates that there are about 15 biodiesel suppliers in the state that serve the more than 500 commercial fleets nationwide that use biodiesel. environmental and economic concerns top the reasons people are turning to biofuel. while tabor said he thinks about both his curiosity is the primary reason he experiments with vegetable oil. the car that im driving has 451000 miles on it tabor said. it probably rides better than some of the other cars on the road. .
