One of the most popular alternative fuels is biodiesel, a fuel derived from vegetable and animal fats. Bio-diesel fuel is generally made from vegetable oil, such as soybean, peanut, or canola oil, and can be used either by itself or in combination with regular diesel to run diesel cars, trucks and buses.
It can be produced in any climate using the local resources. Several companies and private undertakers have launched investigations to find fuel alternatives to petroleum products. Most manufactured diesel engines are still designed for petroleum diesel.
And conversion kits are readily available for older diesel engines. The biodiesel is produced from vegetable oil or animal fat. You will need to check with the manufacturer of your engine to make sure that it will run on biodiesel with out any problems.
There may be some up front investment to buy the processing unit but once you get rolling you will save considerable sums of money over the life your biodiesel processor. Instead of destroying forests maybe we should look to new more green raw materials for producing biofuels.
