So’s I ran into this guy last night and hung out to chat for about an hour.

We got on the subject of drive times and mileage and mpg and he was floored that my home-work-home daily commute is 60 miles with NOTHING extra.

“You gots to get you on some greasel.”

He went on to talk about how easy it was go make:

•get some free/ throw-away grease from a take-out resto
•add a small vial of enzymes (or something) that raises the grease to diesel’s flash-point
•occasionally add a very small amount of regular petrol-diesel (he was unclear on this part)

What’s funny is that he seemed like he knew what he was on about so much that he almost had me sold!

I googled and skimmed some message boards from motor-heads and found:
a) um, dude...you need to start with a DIESEL car -duh

b) greasel uses pretty much raw, nasty grease with only rudimentary filtering -think extra-crispy batter on the side at Long John Silver’s but you need to do some modifications on your engine. Kits are available but be careful, several people got theirs and seemed to need more parts

c) biodiesel costs more to make but its plus is not having to alter your engine
