Diesel Vehicles run with Veggie Oil

Hey Carman how in the world did you get into this subject? Canada was a leader in using vegetable oil for I/C engines during WW II. Much of the research came from the National Research Council. They produced an oil pan plug which had a chemical coating on it that led to the modern oils we have now. After the war you could by these plugs in Canadian Tire.

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
