| Just MHO, but perhaps as an alternative path to alternative fuels, I have seen plenty of diesel engines running off of waste vegetable oils and some can be run on tallow. One of the leaders in the field is Frybri (www.frybrid.com). Basically, you start the engine on regular diesel to warm things up, heat up the waste oils to about 160 F (reduces carbon buildup in the cylinders) and switch over to the waste oil. I am not suggesting that growing plants and feeding fresh, food grade oil should be done, but certainly oils and fats that are not edible are fair game IMHO. It is also a good way to "purge off" old animal by products and reduce disease transmission.  |
