We are also not talking about running the entire US fleet of cars and Vanagons on used veggie oil. I don't see that many people into 200HP+ vehicles switching to diesel engine technology unless it is in their Dodge Cummins Turbodiesel pickup, etc. Only a small group of us drive diesel cars now. We are just looking to keep the cost down and the reliability up for ourselves. You may not want to touch a diesel and that is fine. Look elsewhere for your solution. I found mine. TEMiller
