Yes exactly, we could ran a car on any liquid bthat burns but the suite gangstars won't allow it.

I drove an old frind VW Golf Diesel a few times with desposed but filtered restaurant oil. The exhaustion smelled like fried potato but the car ran perfectly.

This oil usually smell really badly and you need the stomach to deal with it.

People have options but they hit us with abnormally big fines if we use those options.

Just look at house oil for heating with a price around 1€ per liter and a diesel for vehicles with current price of 1.56€ per liter.. They are both the same but heating oil has some colored ingredient in it to be easily detectable when used in vehicles. The motor of a vehicle runs absolutely the same way.

Thank you for reading this modern slave 🔗

Drove a friend's diesel Mercedes on waste cooking oil ("yellow grease") a few times. De-rated the engines power output, noticably, but it worked.

The trick he had to prevent the smell was to run it through a little liquid-liquid centrifuge. The few % water in the waste oil reports to the "cake", and most of the smell with it.

I think Marcedes was a bit more sophisticated. It has more unnecessary parts to run on cooking oil I gues 😆

An older friend once drove an old Chevy converted to run on very fine sawdust. Not a great choice - reduced engine life to about 30,000 km.

This 1963 Deutz tractor runs on olive oil. Started with a mix of diesel but not necessary. No plug changes. Leaks in places, so a plentiful source of oil to drizzle over your ploughman's lunch. #olives #homesteading nit

Awesome machine build to last generations 👌🏼
