Default New to this section and have a question

Okay I have been doing a lot of contemplating on converting a 99-03 powerstroke to run vegetable oil/diesel however I decided to go a different route since I was having a hard time allocating locations to acquire veggie oil...

So I have been looking into this Run Your Car on Water I was thinking about picking up a gasoline truck and running this system on it. I have no yet bought it but does anyone have any experience, concerns, pros cons, etc....

Thanks

sounds like a scam to me.. if it was viable tech then car companies would have test mules out running it, and be showing it at shows.

You can't find veggie oil? Almost every single restaraunt has used oil out back. A buddy of mine makes biodiesel using oil from hooters.

Making it hard? Those tanks hold nearly 400 gallons of oil, and they fill up at least twice a month. How much of the stuff do you need?

The problem is here in Gainesville there is a company that buys it for $.50 Gallon so they all sell it to them and don't want to be bother by 1 person even when I have offered more then that to purchase it.

That company recycles it and sells it to UF for there vehicles under a research program on converting diesel to veggie oil.
