No but I do burn waste motor and transmission oil. The conversion has 2 steps.

1. filter
2. pour into the fuel tank.

Suck my diesel fumes.

Never. The whole "sustainable energy" is nothing but a scam. Makes $$ for shrewd political and financial insiders, and makes eco-idealogues feel self-righteous.

Every time we act on eco-idealogues' advice, we lose out. Either as individuals or as a larger economy.

Never. All this does is make eco-idealogues feel self-righteous and cunning insiders (like Al-Gore) make fortunes.

biodiesel will not goo up in cold climates if you crack it. Methanol and caustic soda added will thin it to diesel level.

No does not work in cold climates fat separates and becomes a big solid hunk of lard.
