  • ah yes...yet another person talking out their ass. The smell is minimal, smells of french fries and is non-toxic...unlike your car.

    You are full of shit my friend, angry, ignorant or all of the above...

  • My truck runs on it and it has a huge motor pushing over 400 hp, and I can stick my face right on the tailpipe and it doesn't even bother me. I just get hungry is all. I'm guessing you don't know what you are talking about.

  • Red gas can is for gasoline. Yellow is for diesel, even if it is biodiesel, it should be in the properly colored container. It cost ~3 bucks at walmart. Things are standardized for a reason.

  • the reporter went into a dollar and brought a thesaurus and said to himself, g0dmamn it im gonna use everyone of these words

  • @CyberneticWarrior you are correct, im switching from buring 50cent per gallon of wvo with less power then diesel, to running on $3 per gallon diesel to improve where i've failed

  • @parklandnot  u r a bad person

  • @rsfeller Your comment about the smell of vegetable oil. I noticed if you filter below 10 microns you usually remove the food smell from the oil. At 1 micron nobody can smell anything. The funniest thing, in down town Gainesville, Florida, in my 1991 F350 on oil. Two guys pulled up next to me, they had been arguing about whether or not I was burning oil........are you running cooking grease in that truck?

  • @cambriacity Actually a little marvel mystery oil in the oil each time your about to change the oil, for about 200 miles before the oil change clean the absolute heck out of the engine including loosens stuck rings. I do however recomment at least a 3000 mile oil change on vegetable oil, especially in VW engines. Do not, do not, do not go 10,000 miles like the interval says, you will fry the VW engine on vegetable oil, I have a friend that fryed his Passat engine at 10,000 miles.

  • I don't know how people always say trucks running on veg oil smell like fries, I've run mine on it, and it definately does not smell anything like fries. I don't know exactly how to describe the smell, but it is a strong odor, especially if the engine is not hot enough.
