Many people are confused about vegetable oil and biodiesel vehicles.

Any diesel powered vehicle can run on both.

Biodiesel fuel can be produced at home, but involves several dangerous chemicals, but is also sold at diesel stations mainly in the midwest. These can be used in any diesel vehicle without modification to the engine. However, biodiesel is often priced equally to petrol diesel.

Vegetable Oil fuel requires modifications to the engine and fuel line. However, the recent demand for alternative fuels has made this process easier, even for those unfamiliar with the workings of a vehicle. Although many of the professionals in this field convert their cars from stratch, many have sucessfully found that the pre-made kits are just as outstanding. It also includes everything you will need, and prevent uneeded headaches. One of the most popular vehicles to convert to vegetable oil is the 1980s era Mercedes-Benz 300SD Diesel. This vehicle is popular for its effectiveness, endurance and ease to work with. All that is needed is a kit from Greasecar Inc. or Frybrid. When looking for a vehicle to convert, ensure it is a diesel! Although the intial process may be difficult, the rewards are great. Imagine running your vehicle off of pure vegetable oil. The chief advantage of this is that vegetable oil can often be gathered for free, or at a cost always lower than petrol diesel.
