WORD!  yes Bio-diesel burns alot cleaner than
synthetic diesel. If we could convince all our
shipping companys to use bio-diesel, there would be
alot less soot everywhere and alot more truck drivers
living to the age of 60.
With all the surplus corn and peanuts we produce, we
should be able to power ALL diesels off of
bio-diesel...and simultaniously taking the profit$
away from the Saudis....talk about patriotism!
