Soybean oil in my SDL..............

After reading all the posts on biodiesel, I decided to try it out to satisfy my curiosity.

I purchased 2.5 gallons of Soybean oil @BJ's and added it to about 18 gallons of diesel already in the tank.

While I cannot comment on performance, I can say that the car smokes significantly less and is much quieter than before.

And while the exhaust does smell and bit different, I can't say it smell like french fries.

Maybe my imagiantion, but it sure seems like it makes a difference.

BYW, the 2.5 gallons cost me 12.00, or a little over 4.00 per gallon. Just figured I'd try it.


My wife an dkid were sure looking at me funny while I was pouring it into my car.

Thanks for listening....
