The FACT is Rudolph Diesel had absolutely nothing to do with the design or development of your engine.

FYI, his first engine ran on Coal Dust.

Alright, negative nancy, so is properly refined WVO still "junky nasty" fuel?
Yes, completely. It still contains fats, acids and contaminants that simple filtering and settling can never remove. The Biodiesel process removes all that.

The city has this little invention called Public Transit, you might look into it. I bet you'll be surprised to find it can actually work.
