There's no 'dropping' about putting a diesel in...more like 'shoe-horning'

Diesel used to be the cheapest fuel over here, and everyone wanted a diesel car.
Now the price of diesel has rocketed over the price of petrol(gas) and now manufacturers have started producing petrol (gas) engined cars over diesel.
Its the taxes over here that spoil things.
I dont have the figures in front of me but its all wrong, as petrol is a bi product
of diesel -oil and cheaper to produce. So why should it be more expensive.[:@]
LPG is a bi product of petrol and there is awhole lot oflpg sitting there for the taking.

The instaler said it was a straight forward job doing the installationand the tank best installed in the spare wheel carrier.

wow guess they take advantage of what sells the most. the reason i like bio diesel is cuz u buy the filtering tanks for like $5 thousand but thats a one time thing then u just buy a couple ingreadients which r less than $20 for every couple of times u go thru the tanks. and u just get the used veg oil from a fast food place or something and filter it and bam u have bio diesel. i watched the how to sorta thing on the tv show TRUCKS on Spike TV and it gives u better power and gas milage. thats y imo i like it so much

Too bad most of the farmers who make bio-diesel don't run it
It costs more and is harder on the environment to make... But it does burn cleaner!

Or so I've been told, lol.


And E85 does NOT damage an engine/vehicle that is designed for it.

the cheapest and easiest place to mount the tire would be on the roof. Just find a cheap safari rack and some straps...

I wish they would allow hydrogen to become mainstream, its so cheap and it also is great for the environment, plus it burns cleaner and longer therefore making miles to the gallon fenominal!! As soon as it does become mainstream with fill stations everywhere im switching to hydrogen!!

Much more powerful than gas (H2 and O2 are rocket fuel) And safer! (in an accident, gas leaks and covers the ground, hydrogen escapes and goes up into the atmostphere.

this is true. i was just curious if the high reactant of hydrogen played a roll in power of the engine
