that "American" fuel isn't taxed so if you get caught "american" tax system will "get" "you"


Mistel, clearly you mean SVO fuel systems as WVO is just the stock for biodiesel or SVO use......

Peter,

I don't have a diesel or any desire to own one. I think among diesel owners, resistance is partly due to the newness of it, fear of causing harm to a good engine and just a plain old all-American "don't give a ****" attitude among many.

Availability of fuel may be another concern. Jst how available is this product from traditional sources?.
Is it availably on, say, the Ohio or PA turnpike? I think people would be very reluctant to have to go hunt for the product outside of the traditional retail network, which is controlled by,yep, the OIL Companies. Certainly they will be a willing ally in this!

Personally, I have a mental picture of a deep fat fryer with cold and congealed oil in it. Then thinking" this stuff goes in my fuel tank"? Then what happens? Undoubtedly, a totally false picture of reality, but enough to scare people away.
False Education Appearing Real.

Not true.
Not true at all.

I recommend contacting your State Comptroller of Public Accounts regarding “State Motor Fuels, Interstate Trucker, and IFTA information”, to get your facts straight.

You might even surprise yourself and find that the B100 fuels you buy at the pump are not taxed either.

I think people are more opposed to using veggie oil as a fuel without converting it to BioDiesel. Most conversions are not done properly or are just bad for the car (as the Lovecraft). Also MB does not want 'raw' fuel used in any of its engines. More people are willing to use bio stock as long as it is converted to real fuel as is the case with BioDiesel.
I agree with all of the arguments for getting off petroleum. There should be a national incentive to get off petroleum for as many uses as possible.
Think bio fuel for diesel, heating oil, jet fuel, & etc.

There should also be incentives for BUYING diesel powered transportation and not the reverse which is the case in Ca, NY, Ct, & etc.

I dislike good old MB's getting turned into rolling junkers by people who care more about the junk in the tank than the car itself. If fuel was $1 a gallon like it was 10 years ago no one would give a flip about WVO and the MB forums would be full of enthusiasts.

Usualy they know jack about cars, and Rube Goldberg the fuel system so bad its amazing the car still runs. The engine is always a mess caked with grease and oil. Then they hack up the dash to run a lot of dumb pointless guages, and switch's that do God knows what, and the interior gets trashed along the way.


Like I have said many times, I have never seen a nice MB with a quality well thought out WVO conversion. Just hacks.

I have no problem with Biodiesel, I would run it myself if it was availible at the pump and meet the proper quality standards.

Have a look, I wish it were mine

True.
Completely true.

WVO and SVO are NOT fuels or addatives. They are NOT legal to use in any on-road vehicles (Per the EPA). They are NOT "clean" when burned in engines. CO2 is NOT a pollutant. Using WVO/SVO does NOT change ANYTHING about "terrorism", the military or our conquest of Iraq. And you can get BIG fines for using it without paying your required taxes.

I'll post the link to report violators when I get home.

While your at it why dont you report yourself for blocking off your EGR valve ?

Or would you rather one of us turn you in ??

Thank you
Have Fun !
