On the whole heating or chemically thinning issue for our WVO...we're overlooking the simple solution!

We should keep putting out the maximum CO2 emissions possible (lawnmowers are pretty good, at 20 times the harmful emissions, gallon for gallon, of a standard car) until the worldwide temperature increases 10-20 degrees, and then EVERYONE can run unheated vegoil! It'll be great...like summer all year, even in Maine! No more mixing, no more heating, just pure filtered grease in every Mercedes Diesel!!

...one day perhaps...if we keep voting Republican...my dream will be realized.

Until then, I'll keep mixing my interesting plethora of solvents rather than shelling out the 1000 bucks (half the value of my car, for chrissake) for a heating system and keep my fingers crossed. Florida is already plenty hot. Plus I've got a nice engine sitting in my SD if I waste the one in my CD.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."
