All of the Bio Diesel Vanagons I've run across are pretty easy to spot at
red lights.
Once you get that whiff of rancid burning French fry cooking oil you can
just bet that there is a Vanagon in the pack somewhere.
I've seen others that smell like rotting shrimp but I can't actually
attribute that to the used cooking oil it might be burning.

And your point is? That gas powered VWs outnumber oil burners?
Cockroaches outnumber humans too. ;-)

tank.)
