Diesl Substitute


The June ‘98 issue of Home Power Magazine has an article describing a school project that built a diesl engine powered van that ran on used cooking oil. The engine is unmodified. The oil is heated and treated with alcohol and lye - making the fuel oil. The article further states the the diesl engine was actually designed to run on canola oil, (no such thing as diesl fuel when it was invented.).
