Default 2 stroke / 4 stroke advice

Why do they make noise about dependence on foreign oil and not let
anybody go get what we have. (Canada has wells in most of the great
lakes - we aren't allowed to, Cuba will soon be using Chinese
investment to drill under the Florida straight - we can't do that
either.)


Shhhh....don't make too much noise! 3 of my 4 vehicles are diesels. One
of them, my 6.2L Chevy stepvan, has a Frybrid in it.
(http://www.frybrid.com)

The 220D and 300TD diesel Mercedes antiques are, currently, running in
warm SC on 80% frying oil and 20% regular gas, which won't work if it
gets too cold.

3 of us pool resources and have our own veggie oil company. I have the
van (collection department), one guy has a huge warehouse (storage and
processing) and the other guy built the filtering system (settling and
filtration department). We literally have FUEL RUNNING OUT OF OUR EARS!
I was at the warehouse, yesterday, delivering another load from our
Chinese restaurants. We all filled our vehicles and still had 120
gallons ready-to-go and about 730 gallons settling out in their cans.

I don't even shut the truck down to go to breakfast. I leave the heater
running...(c;

Fuel is easy to get if you get off your asses and go after it.....and
have the right engine, not gasoline.

Rudolf MADE it to run on vegetable oil, ya know.

Someone asked, "Are you paying road taxes?", to try to expose me. "Yes,
I pay gas tax on every gallon of diesel and gas I buy.", I replied.
"What about the frying oil?", they retorted. "There's no road tax on
vegetable oil, yet.", I replied, smiling sheepishly...(c;

Most restaurants are PAYING a disposal company to collect and dispose of
REALLY GOOD FUEL! How stupid....
