Could have a patch of lawn in the back of the van, sheep installed,
with the aforementioned flexible plumbing straight to the tank.

I had always thought that my BOSS could refuel his vehicle directly
via a coupling in the seat cushion of his car...

Actually NZ has no biodiesel plans as far as I know... and I run
several diesel cars, including a 4WD Hiace 2.4 van I just bought...

... abd this "fart tax" is new to me!!
