    1. Your English and grammar is terrible in this post.
    2. Good luck running it in your car.

    You can do it with a diesel car. I think someone at my company was driving his VW on biodiesel for a while a few years ago, I didn't really talk to him about it though. But, there's tons of info about biodiesel out there I'm sure.

    BINGO, so chances are it won't be here, but i also see now that you attempted to modify your post (And failed at that) but yes, i know a guy who runs his Super Duty truck on it (meaning BioD)

    I think it would be a cool project to get an old jetta or merc make it look very nice and run as a dd on biodis.

    you need HIGH compression to do this....... so a diesel engine would be an acceptible candidate, not a gasoline powered car.

    My 6 cylinder makes 1250 lb/ft of torque.
    They do smell delicious when they're running it though. Mmmmm...French fries....

    My brother back in Australia runs his on recycled fryer oil.. has been for years.. gets great mileage and the best thing is when you follow him it smells like a fish and chips (fries) shop.... ha ha not to mention instead of $1.50 a litre it's like 80c or something...

    you are like watching the Da Vinci Code, i need a fricken decoder to understand what the hell you are attempting to say half of the time. I dont think its completely out of the question to type in legible, understandable script...****, it types out the letters, not like you have to right them even.

    ps... I can take a lot of digs from people but insinuating my wife is a cheater or a whore by associating her to doing somethign she never would behind my back crosses the line to me... just so you know... bring someones bitch girlfriend up.. not someones wife.. there is a reason I married her... I love and respect her... end of rant

    questions have been answered...
    bio-burner, you need a D's, you need to refine the "fuel source" and purify it. then you can run it in your car. basically sums it up. :p
