Hi Art ...

... it was a headline news story online today and I just thought, "HUH? Is this for REAL?". I guess I really HAVE been in the closet a lot, cause I've NEVER heard of veggie oil for fuel but I see the idea has been around and actully used for a long time. GO CANADA!
Amazing what we don't know even after 50 years! I've only had my licence about 6 years and haven't had a vehicle for th last 3 so don't pay much attention to vehicle type news.
Art... I hope you're well and enjoying being back in Canada
