While Whole Earth foods is a good market for a variety of products, we need to let them know the truth about Lovecraft! I found the company headquarters in Austin Texas. Let's call and mail them about what we know without getting emotional about it. If they knew what most of us have seen about Lovecraft, there will be a lot better informed people! Let's do it!

And I explained the differeence between Diesel and Biodiesel and why VO is so much worse and why Lovecraft is such a scam. They had no idea that Biodiesel didn't require a conversion and never heard of the problem so many Lovecraft owners had been having. I even got the person I talked to to admit it was possible that Lovecraft was great at keeping themselves in the media by showing only what they wanted seen!

There is some progress!

Wow, I am shocked that a Whole Earth corp (cough...legal team) would allow that to be endorsed and that they didn't mention that they would void all warranties on engines and the fact that the system is less effective than a solar pool heater in antarctica!

I posted Whole Earth foods for a reason! I knew that my fellow members and enthusiasts here would send or call in their .02 cents worth! Isn't that what a good education is all about?

I agree with beating lovecraft at their own game, but I also think that it should slant towards biodiesel.

Perhaps shoot the video similar to a 1950's infomercial, with the narrorator talking to the audience.

Perhaps a voice over of this commerical, instead of being stranded by only having one car, have a voice over talk about high fuel prices and buying a new biodiesel car. Rather than the Ford in the driveway shoot action shots of a w123. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDk_TEM257k

Sounds like a fun summer project for me.

That's why I posted this here where I did! There are so many who think that Biodiesel is a complete conversion and requires the same equipment as Vegetable oil! Lovecraft has been great at this, misleading people. I think your idea is a great project!
