I saw a story on the history channel about George Washinton Carver
tonight. Biodiesel was something he worked on many years ago with Henry
Ford. Even then, Ford and Carver recognized that petroleum fuels were
not fine and a substitute needed to be found. I found it interesting
that Soy or Peanut OiL with 10% Alcohol and boiled, would remove the
glycerin(10 %)  and leave biodesel (90%). This biodesel runs extremely
clean.

Interesting stuff!!
