Hi Harish

Yes, here's the url:

Dr.U.Shrinivasa dreams of a biodiesel future based on Pongamia Pinnata

But that is straight oil, not biodiesel, a different thing, and it's 
a pity to confuse the two. There is also quite a lot of work going on 
in India on biodiesel itself, and on other oilseeds. Please check the 
links in my previous message (below) if you'd like to know how 
biodiesel differs from straight vegetable oil, especially regarding 
their respective use in diesel motors.

Best wishes
