and yet there is not.

and aside from that it's pretty easy to see why there hasn't been a "crackdown":
1) Most people don't care if others want to run their car on veggie oil 2) The government should have (and apparently does) better things to do than to crack down on the tiny percentage using SVO of the tiny percentage of the population that uses diesel cars/trucks. 3) They probably recognize that there's no point in shutting down the companies because (a) they pay business taxes and bring in revenue, and (b) people will still do the conversions themselves even without a convenient company to provide a neat little kit for them.

Seems to me that you are stretching the idea that alot of people are not paying road tax into this weak declaration that VO is some sort of controlled dangerous substance. I didn't go back and read the whole thread, so forgive me if you already posted a link to the legislation or supreme court decision that specifically bans VO as fuel. |

That email is very, very misleading. It suggests that you can homebrew BioD and run that legally? Come on. I find it funny that your whole argument hinges on this half-baked email from a poorly informed government worker.
I particularly love how he completely avoids saying what makes VO illegal? And what makes BioD legal. Keep digging. [edit] I also love how he basically says that something that is 4/5 VO is legal (biodiesel). Also, I'd love to read the email you sent that got this response. |

Is BioDiesel sold at stations and pumps throughout the country? Yes. Is SVO or WVO sold at stations and pumps anywhere the country? No. Some states have methods of tracking home BioDiesel production and taxation, some states do not. Keep digging yourself. |

Just out of curiosity, answer this question for me. If someone gave you a magic part that you could put on your car that would let you run it on water, would you wait to install it until the EPA figured out how to certify and regulate this new "fuel." After all, water has been around forever and is far from something that could be considered dangerous or unstable.

No, because there is no such device and hypothetical questions like that are a waste of time meant to derail the tread and cause disruption.

O yea, I about forgot. The state of Texas says that we do not have to pay road tax on veggie. And there are a few other states, I cannot rember which ones. This seems to fly in the face of any EPA rules. RichC .

Wake up, man. That's all that's going on here. A tiny mod to the car and you can run something as basic and readily available as water.

Hardly a "tiny" mod since its altering/replacing major components and flow path of the fuel system.

My goodness, we've descended into some depths here.
What if you ran off of something as basic and readily available as water, but your car puked acrid smoke all over the road? |
