That depends upon where you are, the making of biodiesel out of vegetable oil is definitely becoming a hot commercial venture in Europe, Canada, and the US. Or just running diesels on straight vegetable oil, with some slight modifications of the vehicle. There is, at present, a tremendous amount of waste vegetable oil (WVO) from deep frying that goes into landfills and should be instead used for fuel. I just recently bought a diesel van with the express purpose of running it on biodiesel and SVO (straight vegetable oil) and intend to never buy another gasoline fueled vehicle. What do people in India do with the WVO? Also there are vegetable oils which do not make good food. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com - Stoves List Archives and Website: http://www.crest.org/discussion/stoves/200209/ http://crest.org/discussiongroups/resources/stoves/ > Stoves List Moderators: Ron Larson, ronallarson@qwest.net Elsen L.
