Vehicles that run on french fry oil

[StevenT]

Gerry, I read the article you listed. I doesn't seem to say anything detrimental. I don't plan on using straight veggie oil, I think I will go with the estrified oil. The smell, well, so long as I put it behind me... anyway it can't be worse than traditional fumes. I'm still investigating, any more info/input is appreciated.

But getting used to the smell of the mixture is another thing.

"The first time it smelled like puke," Scott said. "It's gotten better, but it's still pretty bad."

Steven,

I guess if you can live with that you can live with anything [:-bigeyes

Mohawk gas stations have been around for years selling ethanol - blended gasoline. Looking back on it now, they were light years ahead of current thinking.

Lloydminster is an interesting place as part of it straddles Saskatchewan. With the different tax rates (AB has not Provincial taxes) it makes for interesting conversation amongst the resident.

Gerry,

I lived with my ex wife,

Maybe you're right... I can live with anything!

Here is the math

C$1.095 / Liter (gasoline is sold in liters)

1 US gallon = 3.785 Liters

1 US gallon = C$4.145

OR

.88 x $4.145 = US$3.65 / US gallon

If you're driving a vehicle with - say 120 liter tank - it could cost you

120L x C$1.095 = C$131.40

Not Bad.[:-crazy]

Here's a bunch of folks that are using the conversion kit I mentioned in an earlier reply:
