(Diesel) Propane injection!!

[slash2@mindspring.com (Scott Rose)]

Why not instead of propane, run veggie oil.  Deisels were actually made to
run it.  You don't have to change anything.  But you do need to refine it.
I don't know all the details on refining it, but I know you can do it in
your backyard.  You could get free fuel from this if you went to places
like McD's, KFC, etc.  I'm sure they'd gladly give it away free.  It'll
just smell like french fries cruisin down the road.
