As a (admittedly narrow market) curiosity, it would be interesting to know HOW the 80's MB Turbo diesels run on ULSD, with its nice to have and necessary adaptations, or no adaptations required, if that be so. Even as I am curious, the various emissions regulatory agencies see this population as a TOTAL NON issue. In any case, they are EXEMPT. |

Lets hope we keep up with the rest of the World on this. The use of biodiesel instead of diesel reduces emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide. The company plans to produce 34m litres of biodiesel each year, which will be the equivalent of taking 25,000 cars off the road in terms of reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/0412/biofuel.html I received this today. It is an article about Ex-CIA chief Woolsey. This was part of his proposal. He is living what he preaches. His farm is solar powered and drives a fuel efficient car. Improve fuel economy. In Europe, the average economy of private vehicles is 42 mpg, nearly double the U.S.'s 24 mpg, largely due to their reliance on efficient, next-generation, clean-burning diesel engines.

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 14, 2007 11:41 am) I have tried various concentrations of biodiesel in my Jeep Liberty CRD from B5 to B40 (self blended). The Jeep ran better than on straight dino diesel, was quieter and seemed to have more get up and go. There was no degradation in FE either. I read the article by Woolsey (was in a Sunday paper). Imagine if monies used for pork were spent on making our country energy independent, how wonderful that would be. |
