Thumbs up She's cookin...

BTW-For grins, I ran my tank down to empty and burned 4 gal of WalMart's cheapest vegetable oil (soybean/corn blend) through Marlene the wagon this weekend. Runs great, lots less klatta, klatta diesel racket and the exhaust smells just like you're downwind of a Popeye's. But, I honestly think the best part of all this was the look on my Dad's face when I started pouring jugs of cooking oil into the tank.

Unfortunately, SVO isn't really an alternative until fuel is higher than $3.50/gal but I wanted to experiment with a known quantity before doing any investment in WFO filtering gear.

If this all works out, I guess I'll have to buy one of those silly chef's hats to go motoring in....
