    Sunday work

    Today was a long fun day for me. Funny part is...I did not pick up one computer or even one pound of iron.

    What I did get was 500 gallons of WVO that will be turned into bio fuel for my truck to run on (thats around $1700 saved). I was able to pick up 500gallons with only 20gallons of bio fuel..thats a great return on time and money spent if you ask me...but alot of riding around...stopping and going and jumping in and out of the truck looking for the WVO.



    This coming Friday...I am going to go get me a nice big Texas style steak =)

    P.s...just thought I would share..nothing to learn from this post.

    WVO = Waste veg oil from fast food joints. You can turn it into b100 (b100 means its 100% bio fuel/diesel) and b100 will run in most trucks. Now...I don't know for sure about the newer ones because they have emissions systems now just like a gasser. The ones with NO emissions can run on straight veg oil if you wanted it to doing some mods to the motor/tank that are simple/easy to do. But I turn all my wvo into bio fuel.

    You guys out there have a lot of grain, how about making your own alcohol and do your own blending, instead of the 10% blend that comes out of the pump. You could blend it up to about 35% I think. I used to run a McCullough 110 chrome motor on a racing go cart that ran 100% pure racing alcohol. That thing would fly.

    If its diesel it will run it just fine. But I think thats a gasser not a diesel.
