Silver Vegetable
What is your opinion of Vegetable Oil fueled vehicles?
Just wondering. I had a friend mod his old VW Bug, and gets waste vegetable oil from the local Long John Silvers, for his car to run on, and I swear the car smells like fish sticks! I think it is a cool concept, keeping emmisions down, but I was wondering what other people think of this. AND, if could CLEAN vegetable oil be ran, why does it have to be USED oil? Thanks in advance for your input.
First off Vegetable Diesel does not lower emissions. The majority of the resulting by-products of any combustion dealing with hydrocarbons are still Carbon Dioxide and Water.
So buring Vegetable oil doesn’t stop the green house effect.
You can burn clean vegetable oil, but have you seen the cost of vegetable oil? Try going to a super market some time and take a look on the shelf. Clean vegetable oil would cost somewhere on the order of $8-$10 per gallon. Probably not something that people would enjoy paying on a per gallon basis.
The good point your friend is doing is he is utilizing the waste vegetable oil for fuel. He probably gets the waste vegetable oil for cheap or even free. This oil typically is wasted so by him using the oil from Long John Silver, he is utilizing a product that may have gone to waste otherwise.
So in that respect he is doing good for the environment, by utilizing something that otherwise would need to be disposed of properly.
