my injectors and engine are just fine..

if people ran watery, dirty, high viscosity petroleum through their engines it would do the same damage to their injectors...

think about it for a sec its all logic... no rocket science required.

I'll help!

..check out this site for veggie-based diesel engine oil. Now folks can not only put used cooking grease in their tank, but lube their engine with vegetable oil as well.

So.. you think that'll do it H-townbenzoboy?
