Hi folks,

In light of recent discussion, I was considering a
conversion that could allow my van to run on vegetable
oil.  Because technically, fossil fuels are animal
by-products in part.  I have a friend who tried this
and he said corn oil is inferior to oil obtained
brussel sprouts.  He typically saved some of this high
octane oil for those long mointain passes in Colorado.
Coincedentally it is best to run these lean burning
engines at about 4200-4800 rpm's in 3rd gear for
maximum output and to prevent lugging :)

Sorry, couldn't resist!
