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.
