VegOil Fuel: the Unsung Alternative

In the winter of 2005 I tested VegOil as an alternative fuel by buying a diesel car, modifying it to run on Straight Vegetable Oil (NOT BioDiesel), and driving it across the U.S., interviewing industry players along the way. See below for the breakdown of the six-part series:

1) Intro to VegOil - what it is, how it works, description of my road trip
2) Driving on VegOil - the diesel difference, VegOil difficulties, Suzanne Shanley (driver), Ray Holan author of Sliding Home (vegoil guidebook)
3) Regulating VegOil - Legalities, Justin Carven of Greasecar, Andrew Couch of Deep Fried Rides
4) Fueling VegOil - Bruce Davidson of the Sirius Community, reactions of public, how-to filtering of fuel
5) History of VegOil - American love of cars, Vivian Andrus 96 year old driver compares early Model T driving to VegOil driving
6) VegOil Conclusions - Infrastructure blockage of mainstream use, overview, future of VegOil

This series was originally created for KUNM in Albuquerque NM
