I wanted to do something positive for the environment, positive for the
global economy, and my economy. I read about others achieving this goal
by running their cars on WVO. It was intriguing, but I knew nobody personally
doing it.
In the end, I had to bite the bullet and stop talking about it and started
just doing things, buying things to make me get started.
To help locate & help others of like mind, I made this web site and
started a support group - a coop to help each other achieve the goal of
using waste veggie oil for fuel. I have since owned several vehicles and
use Bio-Diesel and/or WVO in them all.
My first vehicle using a Conversion Kit for WVO Fuel is the ole'
'83
Mercedes Benz 240D with 220,000 miles on it.
My current Grease Car is an '87
Mercedes SDL . I have lots of details about the car and the
Grease4Fuel system being used.

I am very excited about the future of biofuels in Washington. Alternate
energy sources in general fascinate me. I'm really looking forward to
getting to know more folks who are doing similar things, and using their
brains and skills toward hopeful pursuits!

I started off with an 83 Peugeot wagon. It has been sucking B100 since
June. It has been well cared for, and seems really solid. I hope it has
many good miles left on it. It gets around 25 miles to the gallon consistently.
I went to Kinkos and had them make a large Biodiesel sign to put across
the back window. It also says War Not Required. I hope it doesn't piss
folks off, but instead makes them think about using a green source of
energy that would support our local agriculture, and keep our kids out
of foreign wars. Shortly after I got my Peugeot, I had to take it in for
an emissions test. I was worried, because if this old car gets too expensive,
I might have trouble continuing my environmental experiment into biodiesel.
But, when I took it to the Lynnwood emissions location, it blew Zero -0-
emissions. All the guys who were working came over and watched the machine.
It blew zero twice! They explained that petroleum diesel creates large
particulates (ashes?), and that the biodiesel created smaller particulates
that didn't even register on their metering devices. I don't think they
even test for C02. I have since sold the Peugeot (it was just a bigger,
heavier car than I really wanted), I bought a VW Rabbit that was perfect,
but my daughter Sonya talked me out of it and now she is into the alternative
fuels club. I did finally find a really cute VW Caddy Pickup. I love this
Caddy. Running BioDiesel now and may use this car for a WVO conversion
Kit.
